Feed up with maintenance

Here's the process of server maintenance (from someone who does it for a living)

1: Shut servers down IAW procedures.

2: Replace any identified components that have failed or are damaged.

3: Complete any scheduled maintenance that requires the servers to be off.

4: Re-energize servers IAW procedures.

5: Do maintenance that requires servers to be on, but on standby

6: While 5 is happening, script changes and software updates are loaded and updated

7: Servers get reinitialized so changes take effect, maintenance is complete.

I'm just amazed that they manage to knock out the processes so fast. Every time my work has to do even minor shit the servers are down for several hours, but then again our software ITs suck a big one. I'm a hardware guy myself.

Plus this!

game maintenance could also include Hardware maintenance to be fair, if you think computer hardware systems can run 24/7 for years on end with no tweaking or nursing then you really are silly ><
