How to migrate email archiving to Exchange mailboxes (cross-forest) without archiving?
I need information about how to migrate or move the email archiving EV to mailboxes in Exchange 2013without archiving in cross-forest topology. The versions of EV they are variedEV8 and EV11. I can use Transvault Migrator tool but I dont know if it's posible that the target mailbox this isa mailboxwithout archiving, and if it's posible incross-forest topology.Solved1.5KViews0likes7CommentsThe Enterprise Vault Storage Service service could not be stopped.

Hi guys, would like some feedback (pros/cons) of a design I'm putting together for a customer who's going to be having Exchange 2010 run in two geographical locations. They have two physical locations for Exchange 2010 connected by a high-speed MAN (Metro Area Network). Each site has 4 Exchange mailbox servers for a total of 8 servers - all of which are in the same DAG. They want to be able to fail an Exchange DB from any server to any other server, even over the MAN. I had originally designed the EV environment with two completely separate directories, one in each location, to archive just the 4 local Exchange servers, and thus generate no traffic over the MAN from archiving or journaling. The plan was to set up an archiving task for each Exchange server in the local site, but also an archiving task for each Exchange server in the remote site in case a local Exchange database were to fail over the MAN to a remote Exchange server, we could still archive/restore from it. I then went through the "Setting up Exchange Server Archiving" guide, and saw a blurb in there that all members of a DAG must be archived by EV servers in one EV site. I wanted to know if we carefully provisioned users in each EV directory (based on their Exchange database), so that no users would be accidentally archived by the remote EV servers in the other directory if it failed over, if we can in fact use two separate directories to process the one DAG that spans the MAN. I'm concerned that I may be missing or not thinking of a side effect of doing this. Just wanted to find out why we need to use one EV site as per the guide, as in this case, it will generate a LOT of network traffic if we do have just one EV site processing both the local and remote Exchange servers. I'd also like to make sure I'm not designing something that won't be supported by Symantec Support. Any and all advice is appreciated.

File Cluster Instance Failover takes more than 5 minutes after installing (case 414-736-536) - customer has a windows 2008 2-node (active-active) file cluster - there are several instances on the cluster - moving an instance normally takes approx. 30 seconds - after installing the fsa agent and creating the resources, move takes about 8 minutes - in cluster administration we see the placeholder service keeps running, after 8 minutes it is (forcefully by the system??) shut down - checked http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH135458&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1306156703078 --> we do not have any GPT disks in the cluster we do not see any event viewer entries no entries in cluster log any ideas? has anyone see this before?852Views0likes6CommentsEV9 - Move Archive and Vault Cache sync
All, We have just concluded a large PST migratio project in which we added a number of additional EV servers to help with the ingestion of PST files. We now want to move the archives back to the original EV servers. We are using EV 9.0.2 and determined that there is no vault store migration available. If we use 'Move Archive' then we have to go through numerous steps listed in the forum posts to get the vault cache to sync again. Would these 2 options below be the best that we can do as of now? 1. Move the vault store partition to the original server by modifying the storage service entry, partition root path entries and index volume locations? 2. Use USL to decommission the extra servers and change the DNS and perform a recovery on the original servers to now host vault stores, storage and index services.

Notes: Migrating off a celerra to a netapp filer 36 mil placeholders on celerra, need to avoid recall 20tb of other customer data identity swap between the source and the destination need the smallest possible migration window hoping fsautility can perform incremental/differential copy (for a small cutover window) A customer is looking to migrate off of a celerra to a netapp filer. We are considering the fsautility for this, however, we are concerned about the items listed above. Can someone comment on how fsa would address any of these concerns and if there are guides & best practice notes available online? Thank you Questions -do we have the ability to perform a incremental/differential with fsautility? -does the fsautility have to modify the placeholder and the ev database to migrate -how do customers typically go about migrating these, is there mandatory (lengthy) outage window or are there tricks to doing it right? -if the ev server is just pointing to the celerra storage via a drive letter, does this migration become much easier? Is it just a matter of replicating the placeholders to a new drive letter and upon cutover, assign the old drive letter to the new storage? Thanks in advance if anyone can assist ;) -daniel732Views0likes3CommentsMove archive problem between two EV 9.0.1 MS cluster servers in same site
