I had an issue where the log drive filled up very rapidly (which I believe was due to the IOS sync error). The database in question on both servers in the DAG dismounted gracefully according to the header on the database. I moved old files out of the log folder to another drive so I would have them if needed and the database remounted itself automatically once it had enough space. I didnt realize it would do that but was ok with me until I noticed it started the databases in the wrong order so that the backup server is the primary one and the pimary server is now just mounted. When I kick off a backup the backup software states the logs are inconsistant eventhough on the primary server and all the logs are there since the last backup time. On the secondary server the log file according to e02.chk since the last backup listed is very very old. How do I kick the servers so that the log files are consistant so the backup software will run. Also how do I move just one server back to the activation prefered server? Both servers are showing all the databases to be healthy.
Current primary server for the powerusers database.
