Similar story: We once unracked and decommissioned a server because someone had accidentally switched the face-plates. We now label faceplate, some point under the faceplate, and the back side as well. What we actually unracked was a VM host. Luckily all the guests vmotioned elsewhere, It was still a mess though. I wasn't involved in that one. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
