ERROR 19:16:08.325 [AnonymousIoService-14] c.e.p.d.hosts.impl.HostAgentListener - Connection to HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.COM:9083 has been lost

 

Cause

This is an issue with the PowerPath for Windows 7.2.X Remote Management with mTLS enabled not correctly handling the Winsock connections from non-PPMA server.

 

Resolution

The fix will be in the future release of PowerPath for Windows but there is no ETA at this moment.

 

The workaround is to restart the "EMC PowerPath Remote Management component" Service from the Windows Services.
