Collector 3.1 for Hyper-V Gets Error | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

I want to collect informations from a single hyper-V host in a cluster.

But i get an error:

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='192.168.10.141', port=5986): Max retries exceeded with url: /wsman (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x000001AD0B88C808>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'))

Powershell 5.1 is installed, IP is correct. Has someone an idea?

Is that error captured from the ntnxcollector.log file?Am I correct to assume that the host has default port configuration and the firewall on the host is not blocking the traffic?


Hello Alona,

yes, captured in ntnxcolletor.log:

2020-11-17 16:08:00,783  ERROR:  HTTPSConnectionPool(host='192.168.10.141', port=5986): Max retries exceeded with url: /wsman (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x0000019C2759D648>: Failed to establish a new connection: :WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'))

All firewalls on the host are off.


Hello Alona, on the target hyper-V servers netstat -an shows listening on port 5985. But in the error messages port 5986! will be addressed… ???


@Michael Hoenemann - Can we assist in anyway if the issue is not resolved? 

Kindly provide us expectation. We will talk with our dev team if issue persist on multiple host/different scenario for your environment


We have added support for the single node Hyper-V cluster in Collector 3.3
