Hi all,

Just installed a New Lync server 2013 (in co-existence With Lync server 2010)With the following setup:

• 3 Frontend Servers (enterprise)
• 3 Backend servers
• 2 Mediation servers
• 2 Edge servers

Everything was working fine until i Started updating to CU4. After Cu4 was updated i ran the following commands:

Uninstall-CsMirrorDatabase -DatabaseType Application -SqlServerFQDN sql11.domain.local -SqlInstanceName RTC -DropExistingDatabasesOnMirror Verbose
Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn nooslsql11.domain.local Verbose
Install-CsMirrorDatabase -DatabaseType Application -SqlServerFQDN sql11.domain.local -SqlInstanceName RTC -FileShare \\dc01.domain.local\LyncFileStore\ -Verbose
Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase -SqlServerFqdn sql11.domain.local -SqlInstanceName RTC -Verbose
Enable-CsTopology

(where sql11.domain.local is primary server)

Now FrontEnd service wont start on any of the FrontEnd servers.

The other servers everything is working fine.

If i run Get-CsDatabaseMirrorState i get this:

DatabaseName             : rtcab
StateOnPrimary           : Principal
StateOnMirror            : Mirror
MirroringStatusOnPrimary : synchronized
MirroringStatusOnMirror  : synchronized

StateOnPrimary           : DatabaseInaccessibleOrMirroringNotEnabled
StateOnMirror            : DatabaseUnavailable

On the primary sql server i see the following:

On the secondary i see this:

Is the status restoring correct or are there any issues?

Any help and tips are much appreciated!

It seems there might be database corruptions. Republish the Topology and restart CsWindowsServices on all Front End servers. If this don't work you may need to stop  the service, drop db and then restore from backups and configure mirroring.

Hi Off2work,

Try running the following command to restart the services.

Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -PoolFqdn "Pool Name" ResetType FullReset

In addition, whats the error message which is logged on FE servers ?

Best regards,

Eric

Hi all and thanks for Your reply.Seems like the issue was that not every server was setup and ready yet,so it causes FrontEnd service not to start.

After that all server was setup and configured all frontend services started and everything is good to go!

Lesson learnt :)
