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.
