Reason: The system cannot find the file specified.  (0x80070002)
Saveset Id: 201912270000000~201610130444140000~Z~90D69679A1B3F81AB6A183BB759172A1

Internal Reference: Fetching Saveset for indexing

 

Cause

Setting the ArchiveSISPartVerificationLevel  field to 1 means that EV will validate the existence of a shared item before re-using it. If the shared item  verified is on a different partition, that partition is then wrongly used to store the new item.

 

Resolution

  1. For more information about Messages (DVS files) being stored in the wrong partition, which has been resolved in version 12.4.0, please refer to article 100045808
     
  2. For attachments (DVVSP files) being stored to the wrong partition, please refer to article 100045809
     
  3. In addition, EVSVR was extended to repair affected items using the repair option: ArchiveObject - Saveset in the following release: Enterprise Vault 12.4.0

 

 

 

Issue/Introduction

Under certain conditions, during the archiving process, when items are being archived by Enterprise Vault (EV) to a Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) device, the archived message (the DVS file) and\or attachment(s) (the DVSSP file) can be stored in the wrong partition on the HCP device.
This situation can occur if all the following is true:
  1. At least 2 Vaultstores have been configured with an active partition
  2. Sharing has been configured across the Vault Store Group for the Vaultstores
  3. The following field in the EnterpriseVaultDirectory database has been manually updated and set to 1 (from the default value of 0): [VaultStoreGroup].[ArchiveSISPartVerificationLevel]
When files have been stored on the wrong partition, retrieval of the archived item will fail. Usually, the first indication that this issue has occurred would be an error being reported in the EV event log during the Indexing of the item when the associated StorageCrawler process fails to retrieve the item from the partition.
