Work roles question

[anything I don't mind]

Oh no you haven't. It takes years to become a SAN administrator. You don't have the beard for it.

Just be careful. Messing around with a SAN can end very badly... Good area to get skilled up in (as long as you don't mind throat-beards)

We got a new 2240 in with 24x450gb.

We have already set it up. Well some of it. Changed the aggr0 to raid4 and set up a 2.5tb raid dp on new aggr1.

Busy trying to set up the network interfaces now, which is a bit more tricky. Going to set up vlan for nfs and iscsi. We have two weeks to play around with it and do failover tests etc. To be honest the networking is realy confusing.

going to be snapmirror the old volumes across one weekend and then connect up to old esx and then add new esx afterwards.

Why in the world would he want it to fail? If it is his project and it fails, then he looks bad. I'm in his team and he would get the flak since a project his team was doing failed.

I wouldn't be surprised if working with groen made that an acceptable side-effect.

The old cynic in me never trusts a boss that hands off his work to his team. I've seen bad bosses use this to escape the blame. I'm not saying your boss would...just that it doesn happen.

Careful with Agr0. Also, wait until SnapMirror randomly fails and you're forced to resort to the CLI. Fun times.

Death would probably be an acceptable side-effect.

I guess i'm spoilt by the fact that this has been my first and only real job and my bosses generally have been fantastic.

The general feeling i've had is that if they give something to me, I get the credit if I do it well, even if they are closely overseeing it, or, if it looks like i've screwed up and might actually get some flak, they will 'protect' me.

As I said though, I am very junior (no one less in the team ) so that might be why!

Good bosses are great, they inspire trust through leadership. Bad bosses try to screw everybody over to look good. Be glad you have a good boss.
