Re: VAULT server causing huge movements of DATA on the C drive
Can you explain why MSMQ does not add value at the DR site? I tend to agree with you but I want to make sure your reasoning is the same as mine. I currently have MSMQ on a local drive and expect pending archive messages in the Journal Mailbox to be re-processed after a timeout once the failover occurs. This is in reference to Journaling. Thanks, Mike Niccum957Views0likes0CommentsRe: Scaling the Vault databases (good or bad)
We have Centera on the backend. We have 300,000 messages a day with the potential for much more. How many messages can a single Vault Store database handle? That's 675 million messages in a six year retention period. Can a single database handle that? Will the performance of CA and DA be impacted by having 675 million messages in one vault store database. Let's say I have four Exchange mailbox servers with users spead evenly across all four servers. I think creating four Vault Store databases sounds like a reasonable choice. The messages would be divided up between the four databases. If I scale out the mailbox servers, I scale out the Vault Store databases. A one for one match. Is there any negative impact to this idea when it comes to CA and DA? Thanks, Mike Niccum401Views0likes0CommentsScaling the Vault databases (good or bad)
I have 2 dedicated Exchange journaling servers with 8 journal mailboxes. I have 4 EV servers dedicated to journaling. An average day EV ingests 300,000k emails. I was wondering if anyone could explain if it would be better to have 8 vault store databases (one for each journal mailbox) or fewer? The directory and vault store databases will be on the same dedicated SQL server. If I created 8 vault store databases the load would be spread across these individual databases, inmy mind improving performance. We will also be using CA and DA. Would more vault store databases help with those apps? The next question would be, if it's recommended to have more databases, should I have multiple SQL instances? If so, one per DB? Or maybe one for the directory and one for the vault store databases? If I missed this information in the documentation please let me know.

I am seeing the following Event IDs on a random basis many times a day. The errors seem to generate together wthin seconds if not all in the same second. I have two servers dedicated to journaling and see the errors on both. Journaling/ingestion does not seem to be affected by these errors.

I have to hand the production install off to operations for 4 new dedicated Journaling servers. Being able to use the autoconfigureXML would help remediate fat finger errors in the wizard by Operations. I was hoping to find documentation on all available options in the XML. I already have the Directory server running so maybe just the example in the XML will be enough to get it joined to the site and and I can VBS the archives (Index), targets, and tasks.

I am receiving these errors while running expiry. Two servers dedicated to Journaling with Centera on the backend. Any help would be appreciated. Expiry is set to 1 day. There is only 53GB of 68GB of free space available where as there is 67GB of 68Gb available (what I wouled expect) on the other server. I get the 6604 event ID giving the summary of the expiry on the other server. Category: Storage Delete EventID: 6796 A COM exception has been raised. The specified Collection does not exist.
