Boom ..another crash....

..long time since i wrote in this blog, its friendship day today and was happy receving and sending messages to my dear friends, i have been staying away from my parents since my college days and i have always enjoyed hanging out and sharing my feelings(or rather mokkai) with friends.. over the years my friends circle has become shorter and shorter..courtesy professional life . Still i would cherish todays memories for every friendship day to come ....myself,jegu,subbu,thangs had a great bash...ealrier we had went to recieve thangs from US and he came directly to my flat.....we had everything aranged ..food, soft drinks,movies...and we took lot of snaps in my house and chatted for a long time in bed ...and slept late night ....as i slept i had a disappointment that one of my dear friend fought with me and never cared to wish me this day .....


work has been hectic this week...another server crash, i have got involved in four major server crashes now ...made a quick stop gap arrangement for all the applications and went to datacentre, this server had already crahsed six months back and me and a sys admin guy had managed to recover ..but today we found that there is very little chances of recovery ...so i called my manager and reported the situation.....he was very upset and he tried to give me a dress down for the incident but i told him we had still lot of options left to manage the setup ....and he felt relaxed...and we did manage to run the setup without much impact.


next day morning ...again i was summoned to my manager desk, he asked about the crashed server backup ..it is very critical for my position to take regular backups. but i never did it and i had to listen to his dressing down now.There was kind of chaos in office ..hrms and few other apps was not working ..even as i was troubleshooting that issue ...they asked me to go immediately to work on the crashed server....we tried whole afternoon whithout any luck to recover the server....i came back to my desk late evening and fixed the hrms issue and another issue in authentication ...somehow i learnt from reliable sources that my manager was not very happy with the way i handled the whole situation and i felt very high pressure within myself ....the whole night i thought about this a lot and finally decided that i am not going to handle this issue anymore ...


So my senior was in charge now as i told i am not going to work on the server anymore...she went to datacenter and jegu was kind of scolding me for sending her to datacenter for this work, ...but things looked better after she took charge, things started falling in place and there was a new server up and running in the evening...but along the process she had to take all the shoutings from my manager ....she made sure there was no major issues or pending work for me to handle the next day as she had planned to take leave ..that was really nice of her...isnt it .
