Dear All,
Today i faced a very strange issue,our mailflow stopped suddenly ,although i got the issue resolved
but it was strange what happened,i want to know what exactly happened.
we have 3 mailbox server 2 at primary site and 1 at DR
all server have 4 partitionas as below
1) C drive : OS installed
2) D drive: database folder for edb files
3) L drive : logs files
4)E drive: exchange application.
ex01 was active server in DAG with database mounted to it,ex02 passive server both at primary site,our email flow stopped
After lot of troubleshooting i found on the passive server i.e. Ex02 the E drive where exchange application was installed was running out of space there was only 3 GB free space out of 150 GB,i thought may be ex01 is having some issue,so planned to move all database to ex02,before doing that i thought of making free space in E drive of passive server i.e ex02,i manged to delete some log file from folder exchangeserver/logging/diagnostics/daily performance and deletd the logs and was able to make 10 GB free space,but to my surprise mail flow started working as soon i cleared space from there,before even mounting the database to the passive server as per my plan before the mailflow started working
my question is what does a passive server of DAG has to do with this??
