Hi Team In My CCR testing envirnment , i decided to move the Storage Group Log files and System files to another location (Drive) . Before moving it was C:\program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\first Storage group I have been moved to SG log and system files path to G: Drive as per the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996391(EXCHG.80).aspx i did the below commands in Active Node - Correct me if i done in wrong node. 1. Suspend-StorageGroupCopy -Identity <CMSName\StorageGroupName> 2.Dismount-database -Identity <CMSName\StorageGroupName\DatabaseName> 3.Move-StorageGroupPath -Identity <CMSName\StorageGroupName> -LogFolderPath <NewPath> -SystemFolderPath <NewPath> -ConfigurationOnly after that manually moved the all the log file from C:\program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\first Storage group to G:\1st SG Logs then Mount-Database and Resume-StorageGroupCopy all of sudden my copy queue length logs become 1000 more and then i went to the Passive Node, manually moved the all the log file from C:\program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\first Storage group to G:\1st SG Logs Copy queue length is 0 and Replay Queue Length log is shown as 1000 + googled and found the article http://www.itbasement.net/exchange-2007-the-replayqueuelength-is-very-big/ 1. Suspend-StorageGroupCopy “<CMS Name>\SG Name>” 2.On the Passive node, move all files and directories of the SG directory in a temp folder 3. deleted all the log files from G:\1st SG Logs 4.Update-StorageGroupCopy “<CMS Name>\SG Name>” 5.Resume-StorageGroupCopy “<CMS Name>\SG Name>” After then it shwoing normal. Could you please tell me what went wrong, Anything i did the mistake . Do we need to manually move all the files from C:\program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\first Storage group after moving the Storage group from Active and Passive node? or from any one? I noticed some logs files are creating still automatically in active and passive in the new location of fisrt Storage Group. ramakrishnan

When you moved files manually, did you moved them both on the active and the passive ? lasse at humandata dot se, http://anewmessagehasarrived.blogspot.com

yes i moved all the files from C:\program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\first Storage group to G:\1st SG Logs on both Active and Passive Node..is that wrong?ramakrishnan

If you moved only logfiles this is correct. You mentioned that you moved files from x to y then mount and resume-storagegroupcopy, then you said you moved files the same way on the passive node. This should be done before mount and resume-storagegroupcopy. what you did to make things work was to delete logfiles on the passive node and then did an update + resume-storagegroupcopy which makes all missing logfiles to be copied from the active to the passive. lasse at humandata dot se, http://anewmessagehasarrived.blogspot.com

mostly Iam not moved the logs files alone, i moved the all the folders too inside the source storagre group folder i guess, this was went wrong could you please correct the below steps if am wrong or missing some thing below , which am going to for second storage group. In Active Node : 1. Suspend-StorageGroupCopy -Identity <CMSName\StorageGroupName> 2.Dismount-database -Identity <CMSName\StorageGroupName\DatabaseName> 3.Move-StorageGroupPath -Identity <CMSName\StorageGroupName> -LogFolderPath <NewPath> -SystemFolderPath <NewPath> -ConfigurationOnly New log file location will be created in Another Drive (G:) Maunally move all the log files alone from C:\program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\first Storage group to G: In Passive Node I can able to see the newly created log file location on same G: drive Maunally move all the log files alone from C:\program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\first Storage group to G: and finally i have to do Mount-Database and Resume-StorageGroupCopy IS THAT CORRECT ? or do i missing some ting?..please correct me ramakrishnan
