Standby Continuous Replication (SCR) “Suspended”

Posted October 26th, 2008 by mattshadbolt

If you find that your Exchange 2007 Standby Continuous Replication isn’t working correctly, firstly run the following command from the source server using the Exchange Management Shell (EMS):

Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus – StandbyMachine EXCHANGESERVERNAME

You will then receive the Copy status queues etc. If you receive the following “Suspended” output your replication isn’t working:

There are a couple of commands to restart the replication. Firstly, from the EMS suspend the replication by using:

Suspend-StorageGroupCopy -identity ‘Storage Group Name’ -StandbyMachine EXCHANGESERVERNAME

You will be prompted to confirm – choose Yes. Now restart the replication by using:

Resume-StorageGroupCopy -identity ‘Storage Group Name’ -StandbyMachine EXCHANGESERVERNAME

You should the replay the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus command and hopefully you should find that the SummaryCopyStatus is now “Healthy”
