+Ping the remote IPA server to ensure it is running.
+
+The ping command sends an echo request to an IPA server. The server
+returns its version information. This is used by an IPA client
+to confirm that the server is available and accepting requests.
+
+The server from xmlrpc_uri in /etc/ipa/default.conf is contacted first.
+If it does not respond then the client will contact any servers defined
+by ldap SRV records in DNS.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+
+ Ping an IPA server:
+   ipa ping
