While we were trying to restore the MailboxDB (to original location, without Recovery Database), DB failed to mount.
Couldn't mount the database that you specified. Specified database: test100; Error code: An Active Manager operation fa
iled with a transient error. Please retry the operation. Error: A transient error occurred during discovery of the data

Even I tried to mount the DB forcefully, (Mount-Database -force), There was no luck.
Troubleshooting
Ran ‘eseutil /mh’ against the DB file and found it is in dirty shutdown, and it need couple of log files to mount DB successfully.
Verified all logs are present in Log drive.
Tried to replay the logs (Eseutil.exe /c /f), it failed because it missing the base log file (E0B.log)
Here, I thought to ran soft recovery, using eseutil.exe /r
PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin> eseutil /r E0B /d X:\test100\ /l X:\test100\test100 /s X:\test10
