Not in my SANs, you couldn't 'accidentally' delete an entire storage subsystem's data.Coqui said:Anything can happen when it's setup incorrectly

It would actually take a bit of planning and quite a few hours.

I did, but even if I hadn't you couldn't break it that easily.Coqui said:Which means you set it up correctly right?
Right now. the only way I can figure I had anything to do with it, is that the SAN was somehow critically tied into a part of the raid array on the system I was working on. Big no no on their part. The way they tried to makes it sound last night is as if I went into the storage area and formatted it. It takes a long fucking time to format 19TB of data over a network and there's no way I could have done that in the short time I was working on that system.ChikkenNoodul said:I did, but even if I hadn't you couldn't break it that easily.
Seriously, it must be some shit hardware for that to happen.
From my experience, that doesn't sound possible.wr3kt said:Right now. the only way I can figure I had anything to do with it, is that the SAN was somehow critically tied into a part of the raid array on the system I was working on.

wr3kt said:Yea...I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I'm just waiting for the IT guy over there to email me the logs.

So it's a Dell storage system?wr3kt said:Same people who setup the system I was working on.
They're using dell poweredge server's attached to a contract-built SAN.
The system I was working on should have had zero ties to the SAN other than read/write access. I'm still trying to understand how my formatting a raid array on the computer I was working on affected the SAN.
Exactly.Drool-Boy said:sounds to me like someone is using you to cover their ass.
scapegoat anyone?

No, it's a vendor-built storage system. The client I work for is this company's vendor. He sent me in to look over their tape-backup system which is linux and they don't have a linux guy to do this kind of stuff.ChikkenNoodul said:So it's a Dell storage system?

The guy who originally setup the computer I was working on setup a 250gbx48 disk storage system as 3x3.8TB raid 5 arrays on a linux kernel 2.4 which can't recognize that big a storage. I only discovered this as I was leaving and coulnd't get hold of any the tech support company that had initially set it up.
