EMC – CLARiiON Support Staff are Supportive, Funny.

I made a boo boo about a year ago. I was defragmenting a RAID Group and unbound a LUN after the defrag had commenced. The LUN wasn’t in use, but the array has had issues with my behaviour ever since.

Clearly, I’m a bad person. My colleague was sick and tired of looking at the Error, and was hoping Support could make it go away. Here’s how the WebEx chat went (I’ve evidently changed the names):

from EMC Support to All Participants:

can you tell me, on which of these clariion box you received the alert?

from Long Suffering Colleague to All Participants:

I’m not recieving an alert … the array is showing a fault

from Long Suffering Colleague to All Participants:

from EMC Support to All Participants:

from Long Suffering Colleague to All Participants:
