Volume check


In one project, We had a service provider supporting storage and infrastructure.

One fine morning we heard there would be a network outage impacting all services. This meant an overnight schedule involving :

  • Prep work
  • Prevention of autostart scripts/crons/batches and the enterprise scheduler
  • Shutdown of the whole production stack prior to the outage
  • Manual startup
  • Validation of services
  • Enable autostart, cron, batches and enterprise scheduler
  • makeup lost schedule executions 
  • Wrap up
This was a tedious schedule spanning several servers, several DBAs working through the night.

The service provider added that the storage may be drawn away from the servers during the outage and nfs volumes need to be validated before startup.

I put together a handy script to put to rest the possibility of manual errors in the wee hours of the morning
following is the script attached  :) --> enjoy
