• Do not enter media (iSCSI) network IP addresses in the host table, as hostname
resolution is not required for the media network.

Testing the control network

To test the control network use the ping command as follows:
1. On the control point PC, click
2. Type cmd and click
3. Type ping, then a space, then the name of one of your K2 Storage System devices,
such as the Gigabit Ethernet switch, as in the following example:
ping root_gige_1
4. Press
The ping command should return the IP address of the device, as in the following
example:
Pinging root_gige_1.mycorp.com [192.168.100.61] with
32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time=10ms TTL=127
Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=127
Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=127
Reply from 192.168.100.61: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=127
This verifies that the name of the device is being correctly resolved to the IP
address, which indicates that on the Control Point PC the host table entry is correct.
5. Ping the other K2 Storage System devices to which you have assigned control
network IP addresses.
6. Go to each Windows device in the K2 Storage System and repeat this procedure.
This verifies that network communication is correct to and from all devices.
