To test server communication

1. Click the Management link, then the Servers tab.

   The Servers tab page appears.

2. Click the check box next to one or more servers you want to test, then select Server Actions, Test Servers from the Select Actions drop‑down list.

   The Test Servers dialog appears and displays the following results in the Server Test Results table:

   Servers

   Specifies the names of the server that is selected for the test.

   Access Mode

   Specifies the mode that is used to access the server (WMI, SSH, and so on).

   Ping Test

   Displays a check mark if the server responded to being pinged or an X if there was no response.

   Server Access Test

   Displays a check mark if the server is accessed by the test or an X if it could not be accessed.

   If the test server is successful, the Is Accessible column value in Server table is Yes. Else, the value is No.
