Hi,

This has been resolved way back ago; If I remember it correctly it has something to due with setting. My advice is to check all setting twice and make sure that Snapmanager and snapdrive service is started on both servers (assume that you also run active-passive ms cluster)

Seems that SnapManager has to run under the same account SnapDrive, even though the documentation says they can run under different accounts.

Once I set them both to use the same service account it allowed me to connect.
