 @Minion-Queen said in What Are You Doing Right Now: Why have I been awake since 3:30am? I went to bed at 2:30 and woke at 6 - does that count?

 XenServer Cluster is spewing errors about log, Vm's are running, but can't access the hosts via XC or XO. VM's are still up, gotta troubleshoot. 
- 
 @DustinB3403 Any ssh access available?

 @travisdh1 no, unfortunately not. The VM's on the host are running without issue, so I'll take a full backup, shutdown the VM's and reboot the hosts. 
- 
 @travisdh1 actually, on host 2 yes. Let me retest on host 1. 
- 
 On Host 1 no access

 @DustinB3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now: @travisdh1 actually, on host 2 yes. Let me retest on host 1. Stick with the full backup and reboot plan, I was just wondering if DOM0 ran out of space on whatever it's using for /var/log? 
- 
 Planned downtime will be at 5 tonight 
- 
 XAPI has reported errors, I've got host 2 back to a semi-functional, albeit "XAPI is not running" on the host. Rebooting hopefully will fix the issue. 
- 
 Happy Friday! 
- 
 This topic here list the same issue I see on host2 (state.db has an old time stamp) Going to do a reboot tomorrow of the hosts in the cluster. Will perform a full backup first for good measure.

 I just got a box of swag and snacks from Barkly. And a $35 gift card for AMC theatres. Not bad.

 ...and I just had a great conversation with the boss about virtualization and why we should be using it. I think I will have some hefty hardware to virtualize our whole infrastructure (development testing environments included) by the end of the year. Today is a truly great Friday... the weather is awesome today, I'm going home in a half hour, and I finally got a partial green light for making VMs.

I was just going to comment pretty much the same thing.

But because they had lots of trouble with VMware a few years back, management has shyed away from virtualization altogether. I have managed to change that attitude by just wearing them down with facts. It's past due, but a victory nonetheless.
