Storage Replica Configuration Failure (error code 0x8009030e)

Question

I`m not able to establish a storage replica between 2 windows servers 2019.

#The script I used

$SR = @{ SourceComputerName = 'Server-1' SourceRGName = 'RG-1' SourceVolumeName = "A:" SourceLogVolumeName = "B" DestinationComputerName = "Server-2" DestinationRGName = "RG-1" DestinationVolumeName = "A:" DestinationLogVolumeName = 'b:' ReplicationMode = 'Synchronous' }

New-SRPartnership @SR

#The error I got

Unable to create replication group RG-1, detailed reason: WinRM cannot process the request. The following error with errorcode 0x8009030e occurred while using Kerberos authentication: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.

Both servers run in Hyper-V VMs. They are located in different networks. The networks are interconnected with a virtual router (VM/GOS: Windows Server2019 running RAS).

What did I check so far?

• There is ping between the servers.
• Both servers are logged in into the same AD domain.
• The domain controller is available and pingable from both servers.
• Correct DNS server is set up on both servers.
• PSRemoting is enabled on the remote device.
• WinRM is running on both servers.
• Server-1 is added in TrustedHosts list of Server-2 and Server-2 is is added in TrustedHosts list of Server-1

Could you please help me to figure out how to fix the issue?

Answer 1

Hi,

Are you admin on both nodes?

Double check that you meet the minimum requirements: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-replica/server-to-server-storage-replication#prerequisites

Check also the error code that you got from here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-security/active-directory-authentication-fails-klist-error-0x8009030e

I've used the below to build my Server 2022 Storage replica in the past, maybe it will help you on your quest:

New-SRPartnership -SourceComputerName 'SAN01.home.local' -SourceRGName 'ReplicationGroup01' -SourceVolumeName 'E:' -SourceLogVolumeName 'D:' -DestinationComputerName 'SAN02.home.local' -DestinationRGName 'ReplicationGroup02' -DestinationVolumeName 'E:' -DestinationLogVolumeName 'D:' -Verbose 

Answer 2

Hi, the command gave me the same result. The solution described in the "Active Directory authentication fails with klist error 0x8009030e" article did work for me. I`m logged as admin on both servers.

After, reviewing the prerequisites I believe I know where the problem is coming from.

"Active Directory Domain Services forest (doesn't need to run Windows Server 2016)." ------- my domain CTRL runs Windows Server 2016. I think is time to learn how to upgrade Windows Server. I will keep you posted. Let`s cross our fingers.

Answer 3

Hello @Sokratis Zotos ,

It worked! After using Windows server 2019 domain CTRL and login in on both servers as the domain administrator I was able to configure a new replication partnership!

Have a nice weekend!
