Once more, with feeling:

Dress rehearsal includes checking to see if you can, in fact, unrack something. I was uanble to move a switch this morning because it was stuck behind a PDU. Arghh.

The saga of our crashing UPS continues. The techs came out to visit this morning, which meant I needed to schedule downtime so they could bypass the UPS manually. They were unable to find any smoking gun (or capacitors), and need to confer with HQ again. Best case: the UPS control panel continues to work, and they can do the next round of work w/o a manual bypass. Worst case: the control panel crashes again, and we schedule another round of downtime.
