Hi all,
Exchange 2013 CU3 Std, I have a DAG, 5 databases + copies for each. 2 of the 5 passive copies have Content Index as Failed And Suspended, and I cannot get them to Healthy.
I get this event in the log:

The indexing of mailbox database DB4 encountered an unexpected exception. Error details: Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Core.Abstraction.OperationFailedException: The component operation has failed. ---> Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Core.Abstraction.CatalogReseedException:
The database '2ce3df21-7d24-4c74-8475-4999bee8a0e1 (DB4)' needs to be crawled but is not mounted on the preferred active server. Requesting a reseed.

========================================
The problem started after I have moved the databases to the new location and applied CU3 before the content index has recovered to Healthy after move. I have all of the databases mounted on preferred copies (ActivationPreference = 1), but changing activation
preference does not seem to change anything.
I have tried everything I could find:
1. Stop Indexing services, delete index folder and start indexing services

2. Content index reseed (CatalogOnly switch)

3. 1 & 2 combined
4. Method 1 AND 2 for the ContentSubmitters group:

5. Remove and Add database copy without deleting DB and LOG files, but deleting Index folder
I have an idea, that perhaps if I remove the passive copy entirely (including all files), and create the passive copy from scratch, that may help, but it's not a preferable solution, especially if the situation becomes more frequent.
Any other ideas?
Sincerely,
Vince
