1. we have 6 hosts, a vcsa and external psc. All on 6.7.
2. we're using 3 NTP servers, a local gateway, time2.google.com & time3.google.com
3. we've bounced the NTP Services on the hosts with the scripts below:
Get-VMHost | Get-VmHostService | Where-Object {$_.key -eq "ntpd"} | Stop-VMHostService -Confirm:$false
Get-VMHost | Get-VmHostService | Where-Object {$_.key -eq "ntpd"} | Start-VMHostService -Confirm:$false
4. The vCenter and PSC have been set with the same NTP servers - an issue we're seeing is that no matter how we add them, it saves them as <gateway>, time3.google.com, time2.google.com
Time skew alerts on vSAN health.
5. We've even tried setting the vCenter and PSC to sync with the hosts (just to troubleshoot). No dice. same problem.
6. Time between hosts is less than 20 seconds.
foreach($esxcli in get-vmhost | get-esxcli){"" | select @{n='Time';e={$esxcli.system.time.get()}},@{n='hostname';e={$esxcli.system.hostname.get().hostname}} }

vCenter is set to Eastern, whereas the hosts only allow UTC. Per vSAN, the hosts are skewed by 1m 14s +/-
Does anyone have any idea how to get these synced? aside from silencing the alarm?
