I have spent a good part of my week preparing for this weekend. Several guys from work and myself are migrating our entire network to a new environment. A big flash new rack, 4 new servers, re-cabling of the lot and pretty much a reinstall of every piece of hardware we have.

In reality it probably won't be that bad. 7 servers, 2 UPS, 2 switches, 1 tape backup, 1 modem, 1 firewall, 1 phone server (Asterisk) and all the peripheral cabling.

Come Monday I'll be either grinning or crying. And yes, our servers are pretty much all named after Lord of the Rings characters. It's the geeky thing to do ...
