1156 - Error: Only one usage of each socket address permitted

Symptom

Updates are not applied to the StorageServer and MirrorServer when the Storage Platform is upgraded. The logs will display errors along the lines of:

07:06:52.465 (00000000.8) Info: SSCommsManager: Registering host services
07:06:52.543 (00000000.8) Error: SPCommsManager: Unable to start listener on 10.10.1.39:443: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted
07:06:52.575 (00000000.8) Error: SPCommsManager: Could not start IP server on port 443
Possible cause: Another service or application is already binding to port 443
Try the following: Stop any service or applications like IIS or Skype that might be binding to port 443
07:06:52.575 (00000000.8) Error: SPService: Unable to start server: Service Hosting Error

Cause

Windows allows only one usage of each port at a time.

Solution

You can fix this by modifying the values below:

1. Dynamic port range: The max by default is 5000. You can set this up to 65534. 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\MaxUserPort is the key to use.

2. Once the connection does get into an TIME_WAIT state, you can reduce the time it is in that state. The default is four minutes, but you can set this to 30 seconds.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TCPTimedWaitDelay is the key to use.
