Migration ZCS 6 to ZCS 7 And Exchange 2007 to ZCS7

[diablo62]

Hi

I have installed new ZCS 7 server on ubuntu 10.04 and i want to migrate my "old" user.
I have some user on ZCS 6.0.10 on ubuntu 8.04 and the others on exchange 2007.
Can you explain me the best pratice to migrate the user.

I think, i can make a full backup on ZCS6.0.10 and import it on ZCS7 ? but the server name are not the same et i want to remove some domain name

There no tools to migrate Zcs to Zcs ? As i can see zcs use imapsync but how it recover the appointement, contact ?

For exchange, it simply i can use the wizard tools to migrate users

I hope, i explain clearly I m sorry for my poor english

[diablo62]

no body to help me ?

I've searched and i find zmtozmig but the documentation of this command is very small.

Hi diablo62.

Maybe you can check out ZeXtras Migration Tool, a free tool for Zimbra to Zimbra migrations.

With it the steps for your migration would be fairly straightforward:

• Install Zextras Migration Tool to export your data from your old server.
• Install Zextras Suite (with free trial mode) on new server to import all data.

All the shared items in a mailbox remain consistent through the migration, as do the ACLs

You can find the ZeXtras Migration Tool in the Zimbra Gallery: ZeXtras Migration Tool | Zimbra :: Gallery

diablo62,

I have used zmztozimg to migrate users from Zimbra OSS 5.0.13 to Zimbra 7 NE. You should check out the config for zmztozimg. Here's a cleaned up example of mine.

On the Zimbra 7 server:
nano /opt/zimbra/conf/zmztozimg.conf, then once you are ready to migrate an account, add it to the 'Accounts=' like shown below.

# Configuration file for zmztozmig with all necessary settings
#
#Source ZCS server IP/name,admin user name and password, server port
SourceZCSServer=SourceServerHere.com
SourceAdminUser=Admin
SourceAdminPwd=PasswordHere
SourceAdminPort=7071
#
#Destination/Target ZCS server IP/name,admin user name and password, server port
TargetZCSServer=TargetServerHere.com
TargetAdminUser=Admin
TargetAdminPwd=PasswordHere
TargetAdminPort=7071
#
#Change ZimbraMailTransport after successful migration
ZimbraMailTransport=lmtp:TargetServerHere.com:7025
#ZimbraMailTransport=smtp:TargetServerHere.com:25
#
#Threads to run simultaneously
Threads=1
#
#Specify directory for mailbox download
WorkingDirectory=/tmp/ztozmig/mailboxdumps/
#
#Specify directory to contain failed mailbox tar files
FailedDirectory=/tmp/ztozmig/mailboxfailures/
#
#Specify directory to contain successfully migrated mailbox tar files, if KeepSuccessFiles=TRUE
SuccessDirectory=/tmp/ztozmig/successes/
#
#Specify directory to contain logs
LogDirectory=/opt/zimbra/log/ztozmiglogs
#
#Do you want to keep tar mailbox files after successful migration- TRUE/FALSE
KeepSuccessFiles=TRUE
#
#Specify the comma separated list of item types to be migrated. For complete mailbox migration, comment it.
#types can have following parameters - message,conversation,contact,appointment,task,wiki ,document
#types=message,conversation,contact,appointment,ta sk,wiki,document
#types=contact,appointment
#
#resolve can have skip (ignores duplicates),modify (update older items),
#reset (delete the old subfolder (or entire mailbox if /)) or replace (replace the existing items) values.
#Only one value at a time as these parameters are mutually exclusive.
#resolve=skip
#
#Specify Domain map - (DomainMap= From_domain To_Domain)
DomainMap=DomainHere.com DomainHere.com
DomainMap=DomainHere.com DomainHere.com
#Domains to migrate in case of Accounts parameter is set to "all"
#Domains=zcs1.example.com,zcs2.example.com
#
#List accounts to be migrated. Accounts should be comma (',') separated. Use 'all' to get
#all accounts from source server.Domains parameter must be defined to list the domains to be
#migrated.
#Accounts=example@domain.com
#Accounts=example2@domain123.com
Accounts=user@domain.com

You may want to check the ZimbraMailtransport settings:
If you want to double check the user routing settings from the current source server do 'zmprov ga user@domain.com|grep smtp' . Here is what you should see:

[zimbra@server admin]$ zmprov ga user@domain.com|grep smtp
zimbraMailTransport: smtp:mx3.hostname.com:25

If it returns nothing you may be running a split domain using lmtp:

zimbra@mx2:/root$ zmprov ga user@domain.com|grep lmtp
zimbraMailTransport: lmtp:mx3.hostname.com:7025

su zimbra, cd to /opt/zimbra/libexec/ and ./zmztozimg . This will start the transfer process and show if it was successful.

I have tried both, and zmztozmig seems to lack some important features like:

- Restore of all domains and accounts configurations, even encrypted password.
- Restore of all tags, saved searches, personas, signatures and datasources.
- Coherent restore of all shared items and mountpoints.

ZeXtras Migration Tool on the other hand handles this points really well.

I have not used ZeXtras but it appears to get more migrated. In my use case zmztozimg was an emergency solution tool where features like Federico mentioned were not requirements.
