Self-healing hardware?
We had a thin client (Wyse 1200) that had very poor network connectivity. We could not get it to connect to the Citrix server to log in - we would only get a gray background screen.
Swapped network cables, no fix. Ditto for swapping the thin client with a spare. Had the infrastructure guy helping me, and he swung the TC to a different segment. No good there, either.
There was another TC I’m an unused cube that I had tested and was found to have good connectivity. So, swapped that one. That one worked. Just for a test, we put the TC that wasn’t working into the empty cube. Worked fine. So we went from one good/one bad TC to two good TCs.
Fluke? Did we nuff contacts on cables to improve the connection? A test run of self-healing hardware/firmware conducted by Skynet in anticipation of a global takeover and subsequent eradication of the human population?
The only one who knows is the thin client, and it ain’t talkin’…
