No content databases are available for this operation SharePoint 2010

An interesting issue, I faced when I am trying to restore a site collection due to accidently deletion of site collection or site become corrupted. Here is the command which I run.

PS C:\Users\mrajaram> Restore-SPSite http://***********:4126 -path “D:\***************\Site_TT_4126_Fresh.bak”

But I end up the following error


Solution:

So finally we solve the mystery. Issue is when we delete a site collection it's not deleted completely; you still have option to restore it (that's functionality available in SP 2010 with SP1 or later). It goes to Site Recycle Bin and you can restore it via following commands:

◦Get-SPDeletedSite – this command gets a list of all deleted Site Collections in your farm.
◦Restore-SPDeletedSite – this command is used to restore a deleted Site Collection within your farm
◦Remove-SPDeletedSite - this command will remove the site collection completely.

Ok. Now we run the Remove-SpDeletedSite command to remove the Site from Recycle Bin. Please wait adventure is not over yet.

You have to manually run the "Gradual Site Delete" timer job from Central Admin > Monitoring > Job Definitions and select the Web Application where you are trying to restore.




Go to Job History and check status



Wait for couple of minutes and now runs the restore command and it’s worked as per expectation.









Awesome!
