After completing planned maintenance, what command should the Implementation Engineer run to verify connectivity to...

Following any planned maintenance event—such as a software upgrade, controller replacement, or network reconfiguration—it is a mandatory implementation step to verify that the FlashArray has successfully restored its secure outbound management connectivity to Pure Storage cloud services (Pure1).

To execute this validation on a FlashArray, the Implementation Engineer must use the purearray test command suite. Specifically, running a command like purearray test phonehome or purearray test with diagnostic flags forces the array's Callhome Connection Manager (CCM) to immediately generate and transmit a heartbeat payload to the Pure1 cloud infrastructure. If the network routing, DNS, and firewall rules are functioning correctly post-maintenance, the CLI will return a success message confirming that the payload was received by Pure Storage.

Note for clarity: While puresupport test (Option C) is a valid command within the Pure Storage ecosystem, it is strictly used on the FlashBlade (Purity//FB) operating system, not on block-optimized FlashArrays (Purity//FA).
