Network Validation

The Network Validation wizard enables you to validate network settings. Network validation requires that all network interfaces that you want to test must be connected.
NOTE:

  • Validate network setting is optional. However, HPE recommends using the network validation system to confirm that your network settings are valid and to help diagnose environmental network issues.

  • You can launch only the Network Validation section of NCT by executing the NCT -validate command in a command prompt or PowerShell.

To begin network validation, perform the following:

Procedure
  1. Select Validate the network configuration now.
  2. Enter the name of the domain controller for the domain that your system will be a part of and IP address of the domain controller in the respective fields. If you do not want to join the system to a domain, you can leave these fields blank.
  3. Click Validate.

Each interface is tested in order and validation success or failure is noted in the output window. The validation progress is also displayed on the taskbar. The validation results are saved at c:\nas\logs\NetworkConfigTool. Each validation result is saved in a file named with the time and date the validation was performed. When the validation completes, the validation results are noted in the ICT window.
