Server not responsive
can't login to it in windows either
This ain't my server, the company who supports it doesn't take night support calls
And our own Lab IT guy obviously is on vacation since this morning.. so can't reach him either.
Alanis Morissette would say , Isn't it Ironic
NOO Alanis, you silly cow, it isn't.. its "Typical"
But since Hospital lab does work at night for dialisys and ER
I kinda winged it and went ahead with a remote server restart command
Lab got a half shutdown, didn't respond, powercycled the vmware.
Server came up
the console is still not happy bout taking admin orders
but the clients can login again
Suspect something locked on the Database somewhere
and now a session table registers something from the console pre restart and needs to time out before I can access the admin console..
Or somebody has to kill a Db lock from the previous console
But since it works for the end users, I'll leave it as is, for the morning shift
oh wait, that's me as well since everybody is on vacation or sick or on training or useless
But at least in the morning the lab soft company can be called and yelled at
But since I'm awake, I guess i'll just watch the footy now...
