Been there.. short story goes like.. There was a active passive cluster with some complicated raid storage. One day the passive's storage was gone(there were problems all along, corruptions, physical storage change/swap etc etc, mgmt put it on hold since there was a migration) and since there were already plans to migrate the cluster to somewhere else, no one from mgmt wanted to build another set of servers for such a "short" period. Guess what... that short period was 18 months :).. So for a 1 year and half , those systems were never touched and never restarted, all the time serving some applications out of it. Sometimes we get lucky, sometimes we are out of job :)
