Hello Marc,
I assume you have restarted the indexing and storage service as indicated. Did they both start without issues? I have seen this error on EV servers where the EV Client was also installed, then uninstalled. Could that be the case in your situation?
I assume your settings in EV do allow for deletion of archives (retention policies, and in general).
You might want to run a dtrace on the StorageDelete, but verifying the logfile is a lenghty job. Look for the errorcode, and then a go up in the trace. There should be something indicating what is being looked for, and what fails.
Thanks for the reply.
I can confirm I've tried restarting the indexing and storage service and they started without issues. The client has never been installed and I've double checked this. Yes we do allow for deletion of archives. It was working up until about 1 week ago.
I ran the dtrace and went through the log and it didn't reveal any more than the initial error in the event log - class not registered. I have also noticed that none of the Tasks within VAC are running with the exception of Exchange Mailbox Archiving Task. The others just show Error. I've tried restarting the server but no help.
I do have a case open with Veritas but we are only on basic support so thought I'd try here for any ideas in the meantime.
Hm.. strange. So also tasks are not running. Weird. I'll try the below:
Logon as VSA, rightclick "Directory on xxx", properties, Service Account. Change password (just re-enter the existing password), Apply, OK, restart the services.
Check what that does.
If that failes, I would do a re-install of the binaries, so everything is re-initialized.
Thanks.
I tried re-entering the VSA credentials and restarting the services but no difference.
Thereinstall of the binaries sounds interesting - Is there a guide for that? I've never done that before.
