It is great and refreshing that you have come up with that topic. AFAIK, There is no *one* method, the silver bullet. And No IIT has any specific course on maintenance/troubleshooting. There are no formal books that cover that, though most are covered and spread across various books/articles The important thing to know is there there are many subsystems to understand as each has it own set of tools (very powerful ones at that). If you can elaborate, perhaps some of us can share our experiences. I will try and outline some broad points below 0. Ensure that there is trouble and determine if it is persistant (like a data centre on fire/No power), intermittant or transient. 1. Isolate the fault in the following main areas - Hardware, Software, Connectware or Humanware. (some inspection tools/monitoring tools) 2. Use the right tool to shoot the problem in the head 3. Collect your money and live happily ever after wishing that another trouble will be there (well maintenance people need to eat too) -- Regards, Rajagopal _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
