Server Crash.....

Today during the last week of the year where it is the most quite and boring a server decides to crash. Hardware failure is the error on the BSOD. This server is for our archive. It is connected to both of our Apple XServer RAIDs via fiber channel switch. And to top it off a user is requesting archive material.

No worries though this is where a storage area network SAN shines. All I did was rezone the WW names of the two XServe RAIDs from the dead server to another server and wah-lah the drives are back online. Took mear minutes.
