And it comes to no surprise that one our IBM SAN systems went belly up today... Took out data that 3 VMs connected to.... And the backups, if you want to call them that, were stored on the SAME SAN... Ugh...
The "in place archives"?

What killed the SAN? I assume it was dual controllers, how could it possibly fail? I mean, that's impossible... it has redundancy.

That really sucks.
And @scottalanmiller in place archives seems like a reasonable descriptor

We don't know. It was working one minute, and the next, it just went poof,

So, the SAN failed before the server(s)?

The servers themselves are hosted on a properly redundant VMware infrastructure... Their data storage was external to them and that is what died.
Edit: These data sources were slated to be moved off of the IBM SAN anyway... we may be expediting that, assuming the IBM guy can save our data.

Quite true... normally they fail at the same time.

What are you using for the Terminal Server portion of the build? X2Go or something else?
-
@dafyre going to be X2Go. Yes.
