News on this issue.

It’s certain that is a permission issue. There are a lot of people on several forums reporting this kind of problems on Net.Tcp Service.

If I manually add the LOCAL SERVICE account to the local Administrators group the service starts fine and remains started and Snapdrive work.

Of course, I cannot maintain this builtin account in the Administrators ;-)

I’ve also tried to manually set permissions on the folders but with  no success…

Oggetto: Snapdrive 6.2 and Net.TCP Port Sharing Service Issue

Hi everybody,

Regarding this article https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb44514...

The issues started since the installation phase of Snapdrive 6.2 (the SD used is 6.2D3) when I discovered that this Net.Tcp service did not started using localservice (???). Erroneusly I put “local system” as account and this started letting me install SD. Then, when I call SD to create some LUN the other issues begin.

I’ve tried every possible fix and workaround but I’m still getting the Issue 1 or Issue 2 and Snapdrive does not connect to the LUN Provisioning service…

I suspect that there’s some hidden issue caused to the Windows 2003 language: in this case is Italian. In fact the NT AUTHORITY\LocalService wanted to start the Net.Tcp service used by Snapdrive has to be NT AUTHORITY\SERVIZIO LOCALE…anyway if I manually choose “SERVIZIO LOCALE” as user it is automatically converted in NT AUTHORITY\LocalService.

Regards,

Giacomo,
