Testing Ethernet connectivity and name resolution
Testing Ethernet connectivity and name resolution
Test Ethernet connectivity and name resolution using host names and the ping
command in the Windows command prompt on the UIM-DIS-GEIP.
For example, type:
ping XP1
If this returns:
Pinging XP1 [192.168.100.101]
you have successfully resolved the name “XP1” to the IP address
[192.168.100.101]
If not, you may want to reboot to ensure host file and network settings are in effect,
or recheck your spelling in the hosts file.
If the host does not reply to the ping, check network settings on the target system, and
cable connections.
Test Fibre Channel network name resolution
Test connectivity and name resolution using the ping command in the Windows
command prompt.
For example:
ping XP1_fc0
If this returns:
Pinging XP1_fc0 [192.168.201.101]
you have successfully resolved the name “XP1_fc0” to the IP address
192.168.201.101]
If the above ping returns:
Bad IP Address XP1_fc0
the Fibre Channel IP address is not resolved. If not, you may need to reboot to ensure
changes take effect, or check again for spelling errors in the hosts file.
Check Profile (PDR Family) Fibre Channel network settings
Use the fcconfig commands at the Windows command prompt to verify Fibre
Channel network settings on all Profile PDR family platforms. Commands are
described in the Profile Family Users Manual. Refer to
Appendix A, Upgrading
Existing Profile Systems for Deployment with the UIM-DIS-GEIP on page 151 for
correct settings.
For example:
• On each Profile system, type fcconfig to check the Fibre Channel network
settings.
• Verify that fcping -all runs and all Profile hosts can be resolved by name.
NOTE: The IP UIM will not respond to fcping.
