I just love it when our clients decide to make a clone of live production server..then put it immediately online..and don't tell anyone about this.. and then start bitchin how data gets doubled all of a sudden..

Yeah, no shit sherlock.. you have two prod servers for 'hot swapping' and some services may only be running on one at a time.. You even have a manual on how to switch primary to secondary (turn off services on primary first, then turn them on on secondary and all)..or in case primary actually dies, just turn on services on secondary and you're good to go, right?

So how do ya think cloning the one with running services and putting the clone immediately online will work out?! 🤔

God, I thought it was common sense to not do that..but here I am, bitchin about how people fail to RTFM.. :/ or use brain..fuck..

    Instructions not clear enough — dick stuck in a server.

    Normally, the clients shouldn’t need to know the details but if they decide to do such things on their own then yes; Either they should RTFM or stop playing around with stuff they don’t understand.

    @Lensflare Well it depends.. most of our clients decide to have own servers and we just deploy apps to them.. in this case we have no knowledge of how their network is set up and all administration is done by them.

    This particular client also opted out of such support from our side, soo... yeah, they should RTFM xD
