7.7 Recovering a Lost Connection to a Server

If a connection is lost while you are managing a Dynamic File Services server, the server status changes from Connected (with a green glow on the server icon ) to Connection Lost (with a red glow on the server icon ). Possible reasons for a lost connection are:

You must disconnect from the server, then connect to the server again to start a new management session. Restart any management tasks that were in progress.

  1. In the Management Console under Servers, select the DynamicFS server that you want to manage.

  2. Select Actions > Disconnect. You can also right-click the server name and select Disconnect.

    When the server is disconnected, the Server icon is dimmed (). All open Properties or Statistics windows for that server are automatically closed.

  3. Select Actions > Connect. You can also right-click the server name and select Connect.

  4. Provide the login credentials, then click OK.
