This article documents troubleshooting steps to be taken if the Veeam vPower NFS Service fails to start.
Solution
Check Port Usage
Check if another process is locking the port used by the Veeam vPower NFS Service:
- Open an Administrative PowerShell Prompt
- Run the following command
Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6161).OwningProcess- Review the output. If the port is in use by another process, stop that process and start the Veeam vPower NFS Service.
The results of the command will either list a process, or an error will be displayed stating that no objects were associated with the port. "Get-NetTCPConnection : No MSFT_NetTCPConnection objects found with property 'LocalPort' equal to '6161'. Verify the value of the property and retry."
Example of output when no processes is using port 6161.
Example of output when Veeam vPower NFS Service is running correctly.
Alternatively, if another process is locking the port, and it cannot be stopped, it is possible to change which port the vPower NFS Service will use.
