Failed to switch servers

[smk]

I have been testing Zimbra disaster recovery(changing servers) and failed to restoring backup.
"zmrestoreoffline -sys -a all -c -br" doen't restore backup from old server (it ended with no error/restore complete messages). When I start zimbra with "zmcontrol start" command, LDAP service started with following message:
"Unable to determine enabled services from ldap. Enabled services read from cache. Service list may be inaccurate." So I reset LDAP password (also reset mysql & logger db) then redo from ldap restore, but no luck...

During zmrestoreldap, there is warning :
bdb_db_open: Warning - No DB_CONFIG file found in directory
/opt/zimbra/openldap-data: (2)
Expect poor performance for suffix .

Is this related to the problem I have? Is there any solution?

Addition :
Installed the same ZCS release on both servers
(zcs-NETWORK-5.0.6_GA_2313.RHEL5.20080522094306)
Both severes are configured with same ip address, hostname, spam and non-spam training acct names, etc.
as from Admin Guide. ZCSLicense (currently it's trial version) was copied from old to new server,
and it was installed during zimbra configuration.

Please help.

Is there any useful info in /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log? zmrestoreoffline sends most of its log output there.

I believe the "No DB_CONFIG" warning is only a warnin, not a cause for restore failure.

Thanks much for reply.
yes, there is 'Config initialization failed' in mailbox.log when I do
'zmrestoreoffline -sys -a all -c -br'

I have been searching solutions to resolve my restore error, but not able to find answer so far beside resetting ldap, mysql & logger password.
I tried to reset them to the one I set as admin password during zimbra installation since I remember this way worked when I tested on ZCS4 a year back.
However I still see the same LDAP error this time with ZCS5 in mailbox.log and see message
"Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Enabled services read from cache. Service list may be inaccurate."
when I start with zmcontrol command.
Should I reset with the same passwords from old server?
If so, can I do just copy localconfig.xml (only necessary passwords or file itself) from old server to the new server?
I do not know their old passwords since I did not set during configuration of the old server.
I appreciate your advice!

[jholder]

yep, you can replace localconfig.xml

[smk]

Thank much for your advice.

I replaced localconfig.xml from old server, then redo
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/db/data/*
zmrestoreldap -lb full-20080625.165013.495 (latest full backup)
(there is the same warning - No DB_CONFIG file.. but it has done anyway)
zmconvertctl start
zmrestoreoffline -sys -a all -c -br

*** I Skipped '/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmmyinit' this time to avoid resetting mysql password to the random passwords.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
then it stopped with below warning :
"log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (zimbra.misc)."
"log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly."
I saw some postings say it just warnings, however process has stopped and there is no mailbox.log in /opt/zimbra/log to check what the problem is..

Appreciate some advices.

The original error for zmrestoreoffline is because the password for LDAP admin was wrong. Try restoring to the current localconfig.xml and use zmldappasswd to modify the LDAP password used by zmrestoreoffline (and all other CLI utils).

zmldappasswd {newpassword}
(do not give any option)

thanks much for your comment regarding ldap error.

I noticed mailbox.log is not available if I install ZCS following guidance from wiki (Network Edition Disaster Recovery - Zimbra :: Wiki).
So I reinstall ZCS again with Admin guide, now I am able to see mailbox.log.

LDAP error seems to get cleared after I replace localconfig.xml, but now I faced new errors - logger & mailbox doesn't start when zmcontrol start.
It seems have been discussed in forums many times, hopefully will be able to find some solution.

thanks anyway.
