Issue
When running a Backup in SnapCenter, the following errors occur in the Web Application:
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. Unable to read data from the transport connection
From a closer reading of the
SnapManagerWeb_<job>.log
, it appears that these connections go to port 8145 of the SnapCenter Server, like:RemoteUrl: https://localhost:8145/SMProtectionGroupService/SchedulerTaskAction
RemoteUrl: https://
<SNAPCENTER_SERVER_FQDN>:8145/SnapshotManagementService/GetSnapshot
The Windows System Event Log at the same time, shows Microsoft-Windows-HttpEvent, Event-ID: 15021 with the message:
An error occurred while using SSL configuration for endpoint 0.0.0.0:8145.
The error status code is contained within the returned data.
