Forcing partition rollover

You can force partition rollover using the PowerShell cmdlet Start-PartitionRollover. This cmdlet forcibly closes the open partition in the vault store you specify and, if one is available, opens the first ready partition.

Note:

Start-PartitionRollover forces partition rollover irrespective of the rollover criteria on the current open partition.

To force partition rollover

  1. Open the Enterprise Vault management shell.

  2. Run Start-PartitionRollover.

    The syntax for this cmdlet is:

    Start-PartitionRollover -EVServerName server -VaultStore vault_store

    where:

    server is the Enterprise Vault server that runs the storage service for the vault store in which you want to force partition rollover.

    vault_store is the name or ID of the vault store in which you want to force partition rollover.

For example:

Start-PartitionRollover EVServer-Win2k3 VS1

This connects to the Enterprise Vault server EVServer-Win2k3 and verifies that vault store VS1 uses the storage service on this server. If it does, Start-PartitionRollover forces partition rollover in vault store VS1.
