Every cloud… or, Making the most of a power failure!

Sunday morning – power goes out.  Fried squirrel for lunch and a couple hours of cool down time for the servers.

On the up side I managed to:

  • Reconfigure the physical SAN links
  • Update the 1 GbE SAN switch stack firmware
  • Update the Equallogic array firmware

All these things would have required down time or much juggling of virtual resources.

Nice one :)
