So I got in a 9500 Ultra today. Mint tubes, fungus in the green. I pulled the green tube, and put it aside, and I bled the R and B. There was a tiny bit of overflow from the fill screw holes, so I sucked up about 10cc of excess glycol with a syringe, put the set aside, and turned to the bench.
I had my head over the tube as I loosened the fill screw.
SPLOOSH!
Glycol everywhere, as it had massive pressure. In the hair, eyes, nose, mouth, and all over the bench. Spitting and spewing on the way to the bathroom to rinse my face, the damn glycol is still in my hair.
Sunuvabitch!

that certainly beats my day. Doesn't top the day an Alpaca spit in my face though. Try having regurgitated grass all over your face. Now that is a bad day!

One of my customers calls last week, his wife was home watching a movie sitting under the Vision One, something goes POP and she's wearing a pint of glycol........ The Electrohome guys told a story of selling several 9000s into a bank in Mexico City. They come in one morning and there was a big puddle that ruined a 100,000 dollar rosewood conference table.

I hear ya...I spend 2 hours fixing a bug that turned out I was trying cast the wrong type into a real variable. Then later we had the UPS fail that our ISA & SQL box was on. This loss of power caused an error on a RAID array that took several hour to rebuild. After it was rebuilt we were still getting about 1000 RPC errors/second in the event log. It turned out the media data in the database was corrupt and I had to restore the SQL database from the backup. All this time the SQL was down it was causing all the SOAP apps to fail while EDI was trying to run. Then I tried to run MRP and it failed because several locks were being held open because EDI wasn't complete. Now that everything is running again I need to process all the SO and WO still and close out the day. To top it all off I was getting IP conflicts all over the place. This was caused by a rouge DHCP server on the network aparently because the EE inside one WIFI access points had returned to default settings.

That's what you get for not running ZFS.
At the end of the day normal RAID is useless, only works if a drive fails. Not against corrupt data. Silent corruption won't even show up.
Got to love rouge DHCP, connection sharing any one?
As for UPS, I hate sleeper batteries, good enough to not trigger at self test but craps out when power dies.

I still think getting spit in the face by an Alpaca is the worst
Oh, and did I mention it was right in front of my wife, who was rolling on the ground laughing and could only muster the words "you touch my wash cloth when your taking a shower and I will divorce you".
And it was the day after I dislocated my shoulder, so I had that going for me too.

Yep...I agree...The ERP vendor said using RAID was SOP...IMO RAID is a PITA.
