Task Category: Index Volumes Processor

Description:
The processing of the Index Volume has stopped following errors.

Archive name: Test User1
Task:
Index Volume ID: 13440237A1A0EEF45AA584C107C65DE821110000evserver1_1029
Reason:
Error Type: NonCritical

Description: Unexpected COM exception caught. Archive Id=[13440237A1A0EEF45AA584C107C65DE821110000evserver1] HRESULT=0x80047192

V-437-41352

 

Cause

The code 0x80047192 indicates the following: The item has not yet been written to the partition.  The StorageCrawler process may be stuck in a loop trying to fetch a particular item that may be stuck in the storage queue. This looping may result in high CPU usage on the EV server. As a result, subsequent items that are added to the archive are not indexed. 

 

Resolution

Workaround:

Restarting the storage service may allow indexing of the archive to progress. Although indexing may get stuck again later, if items continue to get stuck in the storage queue. 

There may be several reasons why an item gets stuck in a storage queue, so identifying the root cause and preventing this will aid in the indexing issue. 

 

Issue/Introduction

Indexing for a particular archive will not progress beyond the current point or a particular ISN when there are clearly more items to add to the index.
