It only happens when I'm out of the state
The server has three external SCSI drives, in Sun enclosures. The cat's ass back in the day.
The UPSs (several) have bad batteries. We had a power glitch, the server restarted but one of the external enclosures' fans didn't start. It overheated and the SCSI chain ground to a halt. Auto-reboot wouldn't help, because the enclosure stayed hot.
I've done the bare minimum to get it up again, but I will need to tear the fan apart, clean & lube it (or solder in a new fan). I have spare HDDs but no spare Sun enclosures. Realistically, I should invest in newer storage hardware, but definitely not this month!
Anyway, as I type this, it appears to be OK. As I drive 63 miles away . . .
