ZCS OSS To Network Edition Migration

[r8escjohn]

Currently use ZCS 5.0.1 GA OSS and it is looking like I am going to be needing to upgrade to the Network Edition soon to address Archiving concerns.

- Is there an upgrade 'path' available to this so I can keep my production accounts, calendars and data?

- Currently have OpenSUSE 10.2 on my production Zimbra box. Is OpenSUSE 10.2 still not officially supported for the current version of ZCS Network Edition? If so, what would be the best OS to jump to for use with Zimbra? I see CentOS mentioned quite a bit in the forums. At this point don't mind too much as I am not 'married' to an one Linux flavor, just want the best supported one for Zimbra.

Thanks!

All the current supported NE versions are listed here. With respect to the upgrade to NE then first of all I would perform the migration to the new OS using http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/...er_server.html and once up and running download the same ZCS releases as your FOSS installation and run install.sh

*** Remember your backups though ***

uxbod,
Thanks for the quick reply!
So, if I understand correctly-once I perform migration to a new OS I need to download the NE 5.0.1 version (since that is what I am on currently) and then update that NE to the current version of NE? (5.0.5 I believe)
