Recovering LDAP after upgrade to 6.0.1?

[s0nspark]

I recently upgraded from 5.0.18 to 6.0.1 and the upgrade choked on the first run after uninstalling packages but before installing the updated ones... I reran the install and it completed fine.

I then ran zmsetup.pl to perform the upgrade of my data and somehow I ended up with no LDAP data (the db seemed to upgrade fine from what I can tell...)

I have a backup of the ldap data from before the upgrade... Is there any way I can import that and upgrade it?

Why did it choke the first time ? You would be better rolling back using your backup and upgrading again.

Well, that was my first thought BUT for some reason my backup was incomplete so that is out...

It probably choked the first time because you had LDAP data that wouldn't migrate, due to using something like the domain disclaimer or posix/samba, and you didn't follow the steps to prepare your server for upgrade in that scenario. Thus the second time you ran the upgrade, you had no LDAP data at all, and it "succeeded". I would suggest looking at /opt/zimbra/data/ldap directory and see if you find your old pre-upgrade LDAP database in there. You'll still need to fix whatever issue it ran into when upgrading before you can import it.

Well, the first update failed while installing new packages... so I don't think I had any bad ldap data. Is there a way to import the pre-6.0 ldap data backup I have and then upgrade it to 6.0?

Yes, if you have a slapcat of the data, you can slapadd it, and then you will have to manually run every upgrade step in zmupgrade.pm relating to ldap to update it to 6.0.x.

Ok ... thanks!
