Has the old EV1 power cycle system been totally scrapped with Orbit 2.0?
Pre explosion it was buggy, post explosion is was basically dead. Never seemed to work the same again, H2 seemed to be in the same state (could just be a coincidence, but given the timing etc, i doubt it)
Now it orbit 2.0 i just get told that the server doesnt support auto reboot. I know it DID because i always used to use it.

When i was there a year and half ago, we were told the system would work as follows:
User clicks auto reboot
System determines server type
EV1 system is used if applicable
TP system used if appliable
If no reboot system post a ticket to DC
If reboot system post a ticket to DC

What happened? I really liked that idea. I just got an error and had to go though a 5 step reboot request even though id already gone through the many pages of servers, picked out the server i wanted,and tried to reboot.
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you lok at it we didnt have any servers fail during the beta period and as such didnt get a chance to test these kinds of things =(
