I still chuckle about this one!
This was similar to a former $work. We had just converted the room from
a former tenants MVS datacentre, to a Unix datacentre. The
motor/generator had just been pulled out, and replaced with a little
solid-state 35KVA MGE UPS. The UPS had a
-illuminated-bright-red-epo-button. At the time, we had no tape
autoloader, to we would take turns going in on the weekend to change the
tapes on the servers. It was the CIO's turn to change the tapes. He
took his son with him into the DC. The "Big Red Switch" was enticing
to a young fella.
I think $boss spent the rest of the day typing fsck.....
Next week - there was a plexi cover over the EPO.....
