To test connectivity, go to https://api.support.hpe.com/v1/healthcheck/healthcheck.aspx and verify a response of OK

Verify Connectivity to HPE.com
To verify that the CMS is configured to communicate to HPE.com, run the following command from a command prompt:
rsadmin config -displayAll | findstr "api"
