      Talked to a customer today....

      "No, we want nothing to do with the 'complication' of virtualization." What we want is simply 13 physical servers all in a single blade enclosure, all six years old, deployed new and set up on bare metal.

      This is what happens when you let developers pretend to be IT people. New purchases of six year old systems, thirteen of them when two would do just fine, blades instead of normal servers. So much cost, so much risk, and they were angry that we thought that they should consider virtualization. They were even considering not doing RAID!

      So, are they still a customer?

      Money is money.

      And grief is a bloody mess

        Why do people do this.
        Thread has been dead since 2011. What could possible make you think you should reply to it?

                      This is what I had to deal with. And this is pared down from what it was. Now, I can close the door on this rack. Most of those cables were terminated improperly. Move something and someone lost connectivity.

                      Same with this rack. Tons of re-cabling.

                        Got a request yesterday. Give user X (CEO) access to only (subdirectory of shared folder.) Ok, complete. has access to ONLY that directory.

                        Today: User X can't see the directory.

                        FFS, what did you expect? Fun with users, hah.

                          It's not super pretty - but definitely not the worse any of us have seen before.

                              It's not the wiring that is the issue. That brand died in the 1990s!!

                                        For my I can't even for Monday morning. Went to restore a VM, found that whoever setup the backups selected very few directories to backup. Never added the VM as a client for the Backup Exec software being used either. So now we have no backup at all of said server, which currently has the Ryuk ransomware. Happy Monday morning folks!

                                          I guess it's time to say the "Your lack of planning is not my emergency" and walk away as this "can't be fixed" and isn't in your court today.

                                            That's basically what was decided for that particular server, yep.
