I had a client that had a D50 with 9332 drives, and for some reason they had
the system console on top of one of the racks containing disk drives.
Because the console was up so high, they had one of those kitchen foot-steps
in front of the rack so you could stand on it to operate the console.

One day while I was working at the console, I noticed that the system had
locked up. After a couple of minutes, I stepped down and noticed that my
foot had flipped off the power switch on one of the disk drives...

When I turned it back on, the system resumed operating. They ordered
plastic switch-covers to put on all of the switches that afternoon.

Wellllllllll it didn't truly Hibernate the partitions they actually just
stood frozen until their disks came back!! This has been around for a
while. I've had customers lose power to towers or turn off power to disk
units and the O/S simply sits there until the disks return and then off
it goes!

Definitely a GOOD thing!
