Spotlight on Oracle 10.5 - Release Notes

Network Failure Alarm

This alarm becomes active when you lose the Spotlight connection to a machine under diagnosis. This may occur when:

• The network is down (and all open connections are lost), OR
• The remote machine is rebooted, OR
• One of the services required by Spotlight is down.

Look for the following on the machine that has raised the alarm:

• Is the machine running?
• Does it respond to commands?
• Do error messages appear on the screen or in the event logs?
• Can it "ping" other machines successfully?
• Can it access shared folders on the network?
• Are the Remote Procedure Call, Remote Registry and Windows Management Instrumentation services running?

If no problems are found, try to reconnect to the machine via Spotlight.
