**** EVSVR ERROR: Failed to process Vault Store 'Vaultstore01': Error: Catastrophic failure (0x8000ffff)
Cause
The affected records and associated details are tracked in memory. Tracking a large number of records (greater than 250,000) will increase the memory consumption beyond 2GB which will then cause the failure as EVSVR is a 32 Bit application
Resolution
This issue has been addressed in the following release:
Enterprise Vault 11.0.1 Cumulative Hotfix 2 Release
Enterprise Vault 12
Issue/Introduction
EVSVR is used to help in repairing Enterprise Vault (EV) SQL Database Inconsistencies, for example following a Disaster Recovery scenario involving a restore of an older version of the SQL Database.
The ArchivesDirectory option helps in synchronizing the Archive (ArchivePoint) and ArchiveFolder (Vault) records between the EnterpriseVaultDirectory and VaultStore Databases.
The problem will be seen irrespective of whether the type of EVSVR operation being performed is a Verify or Repair and the failure will occur during the ' Verify that Vault Store Vault records have a corresponding and correct Directory ArchiveFolder record' stage if the number of ArchiveFolders missing is large.
Failures have been seen if the value is greater than 250,000.
