Also maybe:
- Try to track documentation and if possible reports of past changes and logs, if not available, see if you can interview past admins. It is really nice to be confident that systems will come back up without problems if rebooted...
- Check if startup and shutdown of applications is implemented well and if it is automatic or manual..
- Check for possible dependencies on other systems. Track ingoing and outgoing traffic..
- Also check external hardware, for example NAS / SAN Disk Arrays, Network and SAN-switches, UPS, Airco, etc...
- Acquire a test system so you can try stuff out..
