Hi Akhter , Firstly suspend all the storage groups configured for Continous Replication: First you need to reseed the database.This can be done using one of the following ways: Seeding using the Update-StorageGroupCopy cmdlet: You can use the Update-StorageGroupCopy cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell to seed a storage group copy. You can also use the Update Storage Group Copy wizard in the Exchange Management Console to seed a storage group copy. Manually copying the offline database: This process dismounts the database and copies the database file to the same location on the passive node. If you use this method, there will be an interruption in service because the procedure requires you to dismount the database. Once this is done then Resume the Continous Replication once again Or you could also use the enable-storagegroupcopy command For further reference go through the below link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc535020.aspx If getting some trouble please let me know maybe further I colud help you.

The SG which is showing initializing having any mailbox created ??. See if therer is no any mailbox created in any SG in CCR then you can see this kind of behaviour. If mailbox's are exist in Sg then simple I will advise you to Suspend that SG and run cmdlet update-storagegroupcopy -ide "SG" -deletexisiting Please update once you don this.Anil

Hi shafaqaut Thanks for the reply. So i need to go to passive node, then suspend the SG which is showing initializing then reseeed by EMC. This will balance the logs in boht node? To Anil yes it;s contains most of the users mailbox.
