Feels good, but sysadmin is so much work sometimes XD

• secondary file server is back in healthy working order with realtime sync
• daily snapshots on both servers are working correctly
• clients can fail-over file services transparently, and it works again
• encrypt everything where possible
• all hard drives over 30k hours were retired.
• hosts, guests, containers, storage, network devices, firmwares are all up to date (huge success)
• failover/migrations tested (again) and successfully working across all hosts
• guest applications & containers all up to date (manually check patch notes and update container hashes)
• all firewalls and rules were audited, updated, and tested
• all apps were tested to successfully persist reboots (also big accomplishment)
• fixed some performance issues with L3 routing and cifs shares
• audited DNS servers and updated blocklists
• less than 2 minutes downtime for my customer’s services (also big success) would be less if I had redundant networking gear. Maybe in the near future.
