Config MetaCached DB not working on Exchange 2019
Hi
I'm configuring metacache databases on our new Exchange 2019 servers.
We've got 2 seperate disks available for them.
I used the official Microsoft documentation, but it seems to be missing some important info.
Done so far :
- Configured DAG
- Configured autoreseed
- brought both SSD's for metacache DB online (did not format them)
- ran the powershell cmdlets
I ran it in verbose mode and see the scripts formatting the disks and perform the other actions.
I didn't get any errors in these activations, so i performed DB failovers to trigger the creation.
Done on all 4 servers
Unfortunately afterwards when I check to see if it works I get :
PS C:\scripts> Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | fl meta*
MetaCacheDatabaseStatus : StorageOffline
MetaCacheDatabaseStatusMessage : Directory 'C:\ExDatabases\DAG2019-DB1' is not configured as a mountpoint.
MetaCacheDatabaseFilePath : C:\ExchangeMetaCacheDbs\DAG2019-DB1\DAG2019-DB1.mcdb\DAG2019-DB1-mcdb.edb
MetaCacheDatabaseLastReset :
It seems that I need to manually create the mountpoints then? But to which location should I map them ? And especially since I have 2 caching SSD disks?
