[EX2010] DAG Maintenance Cmdlets

Cmdlets

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -id <dbname> -server <servername>

Test-ReplicationHealth -server <servername>

Suspend-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity <DB\MBX>

Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity <DB\MBX> -ReplicationOnly (After the copy is resumed, it remains administratively blocked for activation.)

Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity <DB\MBX> -SourceServer <MBX2> -DeleteExistFile: $True -CatalogOnly -DatabaseOnly

.\CheckDatabaseRedundancy.ps1 -MailboxDatabaseName <DB>

.\StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 -serverName <MBX>

.\StopDagServerMaintenance.ps1 -serverName <MBX>

Events

Event Viewer -> Applications and Services Logs

-> Microsoft -> Exchange -> HighAvailability

HighAvailability that contains events related to the startup and shutdown of the Microsoft Exchange Replication service and all the components that run within it, and events such as a database mount, log truncation or events related to the DAG's underlying cluster;

-> Microsoft -> Exchange -> MailboxDatabaseFailureItems

MailboxDatabaseFailureItems is used to log events associated with any failures that affect a replicated mailbox database;

-> Microsoft -> Exchange -> Troubleshooters

Troubleshooters is used by some Exchange troubleshooting scripts such as the Content Index Troubleshooter (Troubleshoot-CI.ps1) to log warnings and failures.

-> Microsoft-Exchange-Troubleshooters/Operational

-> MSExchange Management

If a database is in a “bad” state for over 20 minutes (in duration, not consecutive) in the hour-long run of the script, an EventID 4113 is generated and logged into the local server’s Application log. If the database is “ok” for 10 consecutive minutes, an EventID 4114 is logged.
