Casper Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Nothing quite like being dumb enough to answer the phone at midnight. I'm at my office on a scheduled conference call. We're moving to a new datacenter. So we're testing failover of VM servers, essentially failing them over from DC1 hoping they recover and come up live at DC2. But hey, I must be dumb.

flounder Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thats nothing. I do Pen tests for locations around the world so im always dealing with people between 11pm - 6am. Its a real pain. Not to mention I work with our Singapore office quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conference calls that late at night mean you are generally at home in front of a pooter drinking. So technically we are drinking at work which means we win.

banditj13 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Ah yes.. the fun stuff of Virtualization!... SRM, HA, DRS... Unfortunatly... I know your "pain"At least it sounds like you are working local?Try working with the Pacific Rim area...Japan/China...tired, trying to make vm's come up half way across the globe, all while trying to understand the person on the other end of the phone... (By the way, if you are working in VMware, SiteRecoveryManager is your Friend for datacenter migrations!)Good times!No drinky here either....
