get server time from zapi

Hi, I am trying to get the server time for a vserver using zapi commands

clock-get-clock works at a cluster level but when I try it on a vserver address I get the following fail:

According to the OntapClusterAPI documentation that came with 8.3 SDK it should work for [Family: cluster, vserver]

Is there some permission that I need to add to my admin user? Or is this command just not supported in a vserver context?

Or is there an alternative method I should use to get the server time when talking to a vserver

having the same problem with 7-mode filers, no way to get the server time from a vfiler but can get it from the root filer

from the vfiler:

""Unable to find API: clock-get-clock" errno="13005" status="failed"

As my software treats filers and vfilers the same this means I have no reliable way to get the server time
