sobriqueWell, that seems to have worked. Thankfully.
We had a support engineer from EMC (big company that sells hard disks) doing an upgrade on our symmetrix (a 9Tb Storage Area Network or SAN). It's an online update, and it's gone off without a hitch.
It's a _really_ cool toy. Imagine a shared disk pack, that you could plug into lots of servers at once. And do fun stuff like online upgrades of disk.
Just as well really, one problem with 'stuff' at work is more than enough.
The only drawback, is that this is happening during our lunchtime. Which means I'm sitting here, 'observing' and getting really hungry. I wonder if a lunchtime spent getting hungry counts as overtime?
