Testing network connectivity
Before continuing to configure the HC380, you can test your network setup to ensure that IPv6 is enabled
on your network between your HC380 nodes. To ensure IPv6 is configured properly, perform the following
test.
1.
(Optional) Test the IPv6 connectivity to the iLO of each HC380 node.
This test may not work if the switch your iLO is connected to does not support IPv6.
2.
Test the IPv6 connectivity to the VMware ESXi hosts from the node you plan to use as the
management VM.
For more information on each of these tasks, see "Validating the switch configuration (on page
)."
