So, Here I Am...
Feb. 11th, 2009 11:57 pmIt's nearly midnight and I'm still in the data center. I actually arrived a few hours ago to do some preparation work: the big event happens in a few minutes when I get the go-ahead to extract a widget from a rack, reseat two component boards into different slots and slam it back into the rack. If all goes well, I get to do it again in a separate rack.
Such fun. God help us all if this goes south though.
Edit: Phase 1 on the backup unit went well, both on time and (according to the California folks doing the testing) achieved what it was supposed to. I'm now waiting for the clearance to work on the primary unit.
Edit2: Phase 2 now finished and all looks good. I'm heading home in a few minutes. Yay!
