Not my mistake but a good one... I was a junior sysadmin when one of
the disks in the FC array under an important Sybase DB failed. Go to
the machine room, do my thing with vxdisk, vxedit and luxadm. Double
check my notes before removing the drive. Hmmm, the last spare drive
in the chassis has also failed. The Senior SA walks in, impatiently
pushes me aside, asks which drive failed and before I can answer,
waves me off and reaches over and pulls the *wrong drive*. The console
is showing errors I haven't seen before. Over the fan noise and A/C, I
can hear the Openview console playing the flushing toilet sound we
configured for certain traps. Then my pager goes off. Senior SA looks
at me with shock on his face, tells me to get started with restoring
from tape and hurries out.
