I just had a talk with one of our windows guys.
He told me that they had problems with IBM server model 445 and it was
resolved after doing bios upgrade.

Intermittent error that (so far) is only resolved with a server reboot. Error manifests itself many ways but the most obvious are inability to connect to the database and/or inability to log into the server itself. If you do get logged in to the server...inability to start an application; be it cmd or sqlplus. The error at that point is "Failed to initialize application". No errors in alert.log and database comes up fine after reboot.
