I just love working in IT! It’s our maintenance weekend and it’s my turn. Reboot the first server that comprises our whole telephony platform. It’s the primary database server. Comes back up and one of the SQL databases is in an “initializing” state. Give it 20 minutes just to make sure and no movement. Call our support vendor and here we are 1 hour later and it’s been in a “restoring” state for 45 minutes. Mind you, I have a 6 hour window to patch and reboot 15 servers essentially 1 at a time and I’ve already eaten up 2 hours and counting on one server. :)
