Hi,

I have a 2 exchange 2013 servers in windows 2012 OS both servers are configured with DAG one is active and the other one is passive

I moved the 5 databases in other drive and it was successful but no matter what I try one of my database in passive server show "ContentIndexState: FailedandSuspended" 

I tried to manually copy the database file from the active server to passive server but still the status is the same. Tried to reseed the database and wait for at least 1 day to change the status from FailedandSuspended to healthy but still no changes happened.

I tried to delete the afftected database in passive server and copy the healthy database from active to passive again and do the reseed procedure but still the problem is the same. Please help. Thank you! 

Hi,

You mentioned you moved the five databases in other drive, where did you move?

Please make sure the content index of active mailbox database is healthy.

Please use the Test-ReplicationHealth cmdlet to check result.

And you can remove the failed passive database copy, move related files to anther location and rename to old, then re-add database copy to check if this can resolve this problem.

Best regards,

Hi Belinda,

I moved database from drive c to drive e.Content Index of.active mailbox database copy is healthy.

Tried to re-add database.copy still get failedandsuspended on context index state.

Hi,

Now, you have active database in E:\ disk on active server and passive database in C:\ disk on passive disk, is it right?

We need to note that the relative location of the passive copy of the database is identical to the location of the active copy. In your case, you need to check if the relative location of the passive copy of the database is identical to the location of the active copy.

If the path is different, you need to re-add database copy to check result.

Otherwise, you can check the following article to see if this can help you.

Content Index status of all or most of the mailbox databases in the environment shows "Failed"

Hi Belinda,

Thank you for answering my questions, and giving some tips...however the relative location of my passive copy of the database is already identical to the location of the active copy but the problem is still failed and suspended, is it possible to update the active mail database? so that if i tried to reseed the passive copy it will be also updated? thanks.
