Hi,
We have an EV9 server which we use for journaling our Exchange 2010 environment. Over the weekend we experienced SAN hardware failure which has knocked out two LUNs presented to the EV server: one LUN for the index and one for the journal partition. I would like to get EV up and running again before doing the restore of these disks, due to the timeframes involved. I tried to create a new journal partition but this fails because the storage service is stopped. Every time I try to start the storage service, it stops immediately. In the EV logs in Event Viewer we see the following:
The verification of Partition Network Shares failed.
Info: The device or directory does not exist. (0x80070844)
The research I have done suggests that it is looking for an xml file when the service starts; that xml file is currently missing because of the failed disks.
Is there a way to get EV journaling again before we do the restore of the failed disks?
Thanks,
G
