"sql 2 = one nic down.. array errors, raid array reports no hard drives are in pc, hard drive errors, mixed processors errors too!!!"
(sql 2 being one of our SQL production boxes)
The mixed processor errors are apparently indicating the presence of more than one type of processer in the quad box...we speculate the server building went something like this:
Hosting Provider Tech #1 oh shit, we only have 3 XEON processers!
Hosting Provider Tech #2 oh, just use this pentium 90 processor to make it a 4 way box.
Ha!
Not that this excuses it, but one upon a time you could buy two of the same processor and still have them not "match"... something to do with the "stepping" or some such jazz.
They're still idjits.
