Ping the IP address of some other
system on the same network form
the system.
Ping the name of the system from
another system on the same

Ping the name of some other

the system.
If you will be adding the system to an Active Directory domain, some additional tests include:
Ping the domain controller from the
system.
Verify the network path to the
domain controller and DNS servers
is correct.
Additionally, HPE recommends that you also verify the iLO IP address and name resolution.
However, this is not critical to support a file server.

Cabling HPE StoreEasy 1000 Storage

The StoreEasy systems support both single domain and dual domain cabling using D2000,
D3000, D6020, and D6000 disk enclosures, depending on the Smart Array RAID controller that
is installed in the system. See
enclosures are connected, using a single data path, to the Smart Array controller
system. In a dual domain, external disk enclosures are connected, using two data paths, to a
single Smart Array RAID controller in the StoreEasy system. For more detailed information about
single and dual domains, see the technology brief entitled, "Redundancy in enterprise storage
networks using dual-domain SAS configurations" located at: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/
site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=c01451157.
