sobriqueIt's monday.
I was working yesterday:
I moved around a few network switches so our labs had more performance
This included a crash course in cisco configuration, but it worked fine.
I moved a SGI origin. (And had to reseat cables and system boards)
Helped a workmate with a problem on the NT domain (sheah, as if I have any clue about that).
All successful, and checke out ok.
Just prior to leaving, tidied up the computer room (my boss dislikes cables strewn everywhere.
Came in this morning.
Labs network was down, and they were upset.
After a spot of headbanging, checking configs etc. we noticed that there was no signal down the fiber.
Yep, when tidying, I managed to shut the door on the fiber, and it didn't work no more. Doh.
SGI license manager didn't come up properly. That was sorted easily enough.
The NT domain problem is getting worse. SomemoronMSCE has created a 'site' domain called 'domain'. This is, apparently, really stuffing up our WINS database replicas. We're still sorting it, and it's looking like drastic measures are needed - WINS is 'masterless' so a stuffed replica replicates to all of them. If you clear one, it replicates back again. So we're going to have to take 'em down, one by one, and clear them _all_ before starting up again.
Sigh.
And I've had an archive request - an engineer needing $IMPORTANT FILE that we archived. I've been searching semi-frantically for it, because it wasn't on our archive or backup.
There's a reason for that. After we did the "Well, $OTHER FILE was a previous revision, and so I might be able to take that and update it", I restored that one, and went trolling through our optical disk library (it's big, badly indexed, and horrible). I was vaguely panicing, because ... well engineering get very upset when we 'lose' drawings. 30 year contracts, large amounts of money, that kind of thing.
Well, it turns out it had never existed in the first place. (ARGH!)
And now i've got a new 60Gb VMWare virtual machine to create. As soon as possible, because the guy is going to switzerland tomorrow lunchtime.
I can't believe it's only 11:45 on monday. Really I can't.
