that the DNS names match what you expect. nslookup can be used the same
way in Linux, Windows and MacOS):
nslookup<IP Address> For example, Output from Windows 7:
nslookup 123.123.123.10
Server: mydns.mysite.com

Information required before initializing your system
Use this information to help you prepare to initialize your system.
About this task
The information in Table 4 on page 14 is required before initializing your system.
Fill in all the information needed in the Value column before starting the initial
setup of your system using the Initialization tool (InitTool.exe).
You should also fill in all of the information needed in “Information required
before starting initial configuration of your system” on page 15 before you start
initializing your system.
WARNING: You must check carefully that the IP addresses that you provide to
InitTool.exe are valid and not already in use by some other system on the network
apart from the gateway IP address. Refer to “Checking that IP addresses are not
already in use” on page 11. If you provide an IP address that is already in use then
the initial setup may appear to be successful and the system could work for some
time before random problems start to happen which are very hard to troubleshoot.
If you need to change an IP address after initial setup has completed then refer to
Connectivity issues for examples of changing IP addresses.
