Mirroring. Error message: Failed InstanceLookup (agent probably not running): instance not found

Hello everyone!
Maybe someone will tell me what could be the reason for such messages in the message.log file

Thanks for the answer. But the ISCAgent service is installed and running. The ISCAgent service was the first thing I checked. Restarting the service does nothing.

The WRC says that this error indicates a problem with the locally installed agent.

We were able to resolve the issue. The WRC noticed an error in the configuration. As it turned out, the agent's address was incorrectly specified on this server. Instead of a locally installed agent, there was an arbiter address causing this error. In the mirror configuration, I changed the agent address for this server and everything worked fine.
