I coordinated a data center move in a past life and it was quite an experience! Hopefully by now you have everything documented and a plan for what order to bring your stuff back up. And people you trust physically moving everything :) We had the new space pre-wired and ready to go for power and network, so it was as simple as setting the racks in place, plugging in the PDU's, re-racking all the equipment, then plugging it all back in. Took the better part of a day, and we had some clean up over the next week but it was nice once everything was back up and working! Oh yeah, count on a few hard drives dying. I think we had two - luckily in different RAID groups - that failed to spin back up. That goes without saying - having at least one good backup of everything - I had two ;) Eric Eskam =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The contents of this message are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government "The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it." - P.
