Once someone went and bought an iPod and tried to set it up on their work machine and wanted me to install iTunes, I told them no that's something you'll have to do on your home computer... "I don't have a computer at home" they said.

Some OC.

Story one -
> 2013
> Fortune 100 I.T. company
> 8 node hyper visor cluster (DL560 G8's, about 200 VM's per node)
> Storage backend is a CX3 (2GB fiber)
> Holds systems with names such as HRITSQL01 and CORPPROJDC03, etc
> On a CX3 that should have been retired 5 years ago, but it had 5 shelves of 300GB drives
> All configured as RAID 0
> And a 75% VAULT (the SAN boot drive) drive failure rate

I didn't touch a fucking thing, until new storage was ordered and I had a get out of jail free card by someone at the VP level.

Story two -
> Server comes into the shop I work at
> Owner says it's not booting
> Server is 10 year old Dell with 3 146GB drives in RAID 5
> Owner says it was setup that way for a backup
> Explain what RAID is

> Data is on D
> Note D & R are different logical drives on the same RAID
> Blinking light on RAID card
> Seem to recall that PERC3's only blink when in error
> Enter into RAID firmware
