SMHV reports an issue connecting to a host
Applies to
SnapManager for Hyper-V (SMHV)
Issue
- SMHV is reporting an issue on the server running the backup when connecting to the target Hyper-V host:
Could not establish the connection to the host <hostname>
This could be because the target host is down or Snapmanager for Hyper-V webservice is not started on the target host.
- The host is up and the
SnapManager for Hyper-V WebService
is running (on the target host) however the ‘Get-
SMHVHost
’ cmdlet run on the SMHV backup server for the problematic host returns the status as down (the status shows as up for other Hyper-V hosts backed up by the same SMHV backup server):
HostStatus: eHostDown
Port: 808
SmCoreConfigured: False
