After configuring the management network and proxy settings, it is essential to validate that the FlashArray can successfully transmit logs and telemetry to the Pure1 cloud. The specific command designed to trigger a manual test of this "Phone Home" functionality is purearray phonehome test .
purearray phonehome test : Initiates a test cycle where the array attempts to resolve the Pure1 endpoint, establish a secure connection, and send a sample payload. Success here confirms that DNS, firewall rules, and proxy settings are correct for outbound telemetry.
puresupport phonehome: This is often used to manually send logs (e.g., puresupport phonehome --send), but the test syntax is specifically under purearray.
purearray test pinghome: This is not a valid standard command for this specific validation.
Using the correct command ensures the engineer receives a clear "Success" or "Failure" message to sign off on the installation checklist.
