So tired.... today has been nightmarishly stressful.
While doing a P1 install someone asked me about getting another one at another site done today (I said yes because it wouldn't take too long and I expected my current install to only take about 2 hours which was true)
After racking annoying 1U boxes and cabling them... I get hit up for omg emergency customer impacting issue.. drop everything work on it.
I'm like 15 minutes from finishing this install at this point...
Grrrrr
Get all the info together... and try not scream at the person this is for because he failed to inform my team that both nics needed cabling for these systems. Which is why is an issue..
Open a ticket to get them cabled because this site is on the otherside of the country... finish my install... get home.. cabling done.. do switch config all good..
NOPE NOW CAN'T ACCESS VIA SSH.... wtf... nothing changed...
check everything... consult with senior networking person (it's now 10pm for them)
They are confused... have DC recheck cabling.. sorted out one they apparently knocked loose? wtf..
finally switch has no default route?!?! (that should never happen... someone fucked up big when the switch was deployed months ago)
Fixes all but on NIC... we are pulling out our hair to figure out why it doesn't work... fucking guy building the boxes had not yet configured the NIC.. but didn't tell anyone this...
Somehow this ate half my day... and I still managed to get everything I planned done and more... 1 hour of work left :(
I want to set this person fire... or like zap them to pile of ash and then have a tornado scatter those or something...
