Ping tests

This phase culminates with successful ping tests between the Global servers at both locations.

These are simple PING <IPAddress> commands from CMD prompts to ensure communications between Global servers are working. It is expected that a number of test\update iterations will be required in this phase, so stakeholder availability will be a necessity.

Note: Generally, ICMP traffic is blocked for security reasons, so it may be required to temporarily allow ICMP to perform these ping tests between the Global servers at both locations.
