Moving mailboxes to a database

In the scenario where an admin moves mailbox from one database  located on disk 1 to another mailbox database on disk 2, then the disk 2 gets filled up , I believe this would cause an issue, and the database will be automatically dismounted and users will not be able to access their mailboxes...

how do we resolve this issue

Thanks

Well, the source from which mailboxes were moved....will still keep the original mailboxes ?

I am thinking in the analogy of Copy/ paste and Cut/paste, so moving mailboxes is like copy/paste or cut/paste?

Assuming the Destination database is on a server which is member of the DAG:
Now that the destination disk is full and the destination mailbox is not functioning. Does not the Passive copy becomes automatically Active, and users will not notice at all any disconnect ?


Well for the destination Database that caused the disk to fill up and gets automatically dismounted. Cannot we just Delete it completely and create a new one and make it Passive copy, so that it gets the replication from the one that was Passive and became Active ?...and at this point we can enable circular logging on the Active or/and Passive copy and redo the move of mailboxes ?
Though I am not sure if the move will have to be done towards the Active or Passive copy, and the circular logging whether it should be enabled on the Active or Passive copy ?

Congrats Tim !!!

in Exchange with DAG, When you move mailboxes from one database to another, do they get moved to the Active DB or to the Passive DB.

Assuming Active DB is in a different hard drive than Passive DB, so if one hard drive is full , then the other DB should still work.... and there would be no user impact...Correct ?
