How not to test a new system: push a button and wait to see what happens
This is the point where Doug intervened. Chatting amiably to IBM engineer named"Bob:, Doug casually mentioned that the mirroring hadn't been tested yet and – with barely a thought to the consequences – hit a power button on the rack, switching off the disk array and tape backups. He had, he tells us, a grin on his face.
Doug, relieved, reached out to hit the power button again, only to find himself physically restrained by an exasperated Bob. Suddenly turning the drives off is not in the manual, and nor is suddenly turning them on again. And if it isn't in the manual it ought not to happen. In the end it was all smiles. The upgrade was successful, productivity boosted and Doug, forgiven, was promoted to head of IT.
