After you create a DAG and add mailbox members to it, you try to add a copy of a certain database but you receive the following error:
Error:
Seeding of content index catalog for database DB2 failed. Please verify that the Microsoft Search (Exchange ) and the Host Controller service for Exchange services are running and try the operation again. Error :Could not connect to net.tcp://localhost3863/Management/Seedingagent-XXXXX/Single. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of xx:xx:xx. Tcp error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:3863

An operation attempted against a FAST endpoint exprienced an exception. This operation may be retried. Error details: Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Fast.PerformingFastOperationException: An Exception was received during a FAST operation. —> System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://localhost:3863/Management/SeedingAgent-19A34885-5F8D-4953-898C-D654FEE6EBA112/Single that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Cause:
Node not listening on the required port.
Resolution:
Stop the following Services
– Microsoft Exchange Search
– Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller
Navigate to the following path:
ExchangeFolderBinSerachCeresInstaller
and run the following script to reinstall the search foundation for Exchange
Command
.installconfig.ps1 -action u -dataFolder ‘ExchangePATHBinSearchCeresHostControllerData’
Example:
.installconfig.ps1 -action u -dataFolder ‘E:MicrosoftExchangeServer2013BinSearchCeresHostControllerData’
The first step will uninstall the services:
[PS] E:MicrosoftExchangeServer2013BinSearchCeresInstaller>.installconfig.ps1 -action u -dataFolder ‘E:MicrosoftExchangeServer2013BinSearchCeresHostControllerData’
Uninstalling configuration of Search Foundation for Exchange…
Uninstallation complete
The second step will be reinstalling the service foundation again. the only difference in the cmdlet is the parameter -i
.installconfig.ps1 -action i -dataFolder ‘E:MicrosoftExchangeServer2013BinSearchCeresHostControllerData’
Configuring Search Foundation for Exchange….
Successfully configured Search Foundation for Exchange
After doing this you should delete the copy database’s index folder, and then start the services again.
Note:
After restarting the services, it could take 10-15 minutes for the database indexing to start and for it to report healthy.
Thanks this article has helped me to resolve my issue.
Glad it helped you 🙂
