FAILED TO MOUNT DATABASE ON EXCHANGE 2010


We found a problem to mount the mailbox database on Exchange 2010 server, below is the error details & screen capture. 

An Active Manager operation failed. Error An Active Manager operation encounter an error.  To perform this operation, the server must be a member of a database availability group and the database availability group must have quorum.  Error: Automount consensus not reached.



Based on my troubleshooting, the issue resolved after we start the DAG with ExchangeShell command as below;

Start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity "DAG_Name" -MailboxServer "MBX_name"

To identify the DAG name you may run this command on exchange shell
 
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
