For example a service that only needs to be on 9-5 might want to turn their server off. Perhaps it should be optional to have this ping'y thing

You could do it now, disable 'Monitoring' under 'Server State', you could then shutdown the server and we would not ping it to know that it is down.

We would advise against this though because if the server got a hardware failure or any kind of issue, we would not know unless you opened a ticket.

Yes, we would reboot the server. I am not sure why would you want to turn a server off, remember ours are water cooled to make them very efficient servers

Seems the techies did something. It was finally rebooted and reinstalled - which now went quick and painless

What if someone turns off their server to save power ?

Will someone come and turn it back on ?

Configuration of new system 320:09

Can I relaunch the OS reinstall somehow? Or will you do it for me?


Btw - I get an email about the server being down and an intervention being planned every time I do an OS reinstall (the moment it stops responding to pings, y'know). I figured tech's would just ignore intervention things if the server was in OS reinstall state..?

We never ignore interventions, if the server fails to respond a ping it is automatically added to the list, if the server responds to a ping before the tech sees it then the intervention is cancelled.

There is an intervention on the server right now, the installation might have to be relaunched.
