Symptoms

On a cluster server, neither MAPI nor non-MAPI clients can connect to the mailbox store. The Application event log is full of event ID 482 and event ID 1159 errors. Both of these events indicate that the information store cannot access the database. These events are logged for all storage groups.

NOTE: There is no indication of hardware failure in the System logs.

The following are the descriptions of an event ID 482 and of an event ID 1159:
Source ESE
