I went to move a mailbox database to another node by using "Move Active Mailbox Database" from Exchange Management Console or Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase from the shell. When performing this action I received the following error:
Summary: 1 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:00
Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase
Failed
Error:
An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: An error occurred while trying to validate the specified database copy for possible activation. Error: Database copy 'LABEXCH04 Database 02' on server 'LABEXCH04.lab.local' has content index catalog files in the following state: 'Failed'.. [Database: LABEXCH04 Database 02, Server: LABEXCH03.lab.local]

Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase -Identity 'LABEXCH04 Database 02' -ActivateOnServer 'LABEXCH04' -MountDialOverride 'Lossless'
Elapsed Time: 00:00:00
My passive database was coming up as healthy!
The problem was resolved by:
- Suspending the database copy
- Activating the database copy - wait for resync
- Performing the move active mailbox database command again.
Very weird for the fact that it was displaying as a healthy copy!
