春节长假将至，有些系统管理员们被老板要求写一份公司的软硬件维护清单，对于没写过此类文档的运维朋友们而言会感到很苦恼。

系统维护清单该怎么写？

其实不光是在长假前后，系统管理员平时也应该养成按时（比如每天、每周、每月）按照维护清单进行软硬件维护的习惯。

简单而言，系统维护主要包括如下几个方面：

1. 保持软件和系统的更新。软件更新通常包含bug修复和安全漏洞修复，这是为了你的安全着想。
2. 杀毒软件的更新和定期查杀病毒。
3. 检查你的系统监控数据是否完好的保存。各种监控。
4. 检查系统的备份是否完好的保存。备份的重要性相信不用再强调了！
5. 检查机房的物理环境，如温度、湿度等。
6. 检查硬盘/RAID的情况，磁盘占用情况，是否有坏道。
7. ……

   从某种角度而言，系统维护清单都应该是系统管理员们必须遵守的铁律。编辑在此推荐专题：系统运维秘诀大分享。其中包括：

   1. 系统管理员必须了解的六大铁律
   2. 系统管理员应该定期完成的九件事
   3. 运维人员应该时刻谨记的十条安全法则

      具体的系统维护清单，其实不少厂商（尤其是微软和IBM）都提供了软硬件维护清单的参考文档。可惜的是，大部分都还没有翻译成中文（这也是为什么技术人学好英文很重要，因为太多资料手册都是English Only）。下面摘录部分相关文档，以供大家参考。

      Use this checklist to ensure that physical environment checks are completed.

      Task:

      ·Verify that environmental conditions are tracked and maintained.

      ·Check temperature and humidity to ensure that environmental systems such as heating and air conditioning settings are within acceptable conditions, and that they function within the hardware manufacturer’s specifications.

      ·Verify that physical security measures such as locks, dongles, and access codes have not been breached and that they function correctly.

      ·Ensure that your physical network and related hardware such as routers, switches, hubs, physical cables, and connectors are operational.

      Checklist: Check Backups
