Want to test Zimbra NE 7.1 multi server HOW?

I want to test Zimbra NE 7.1 on multiple Ubuntu 10.04 servers.
We have 350 mailboxes and our current mail database is 150GB
We run a windows environment and have Active Directory.

What is the recommended setup? Medium or Large setup?

We would like to install it on multi servers.
Like:
- mysql on a seperate server.
- I guess seperate LDAP server is not needed (active directory)
- Is it possible to setup and webmail server in the DMZ?

I have the multiserver documentation. But it is unclear for me to find out how to install it on multiserver.

I hope someone can help me get on my way so we can test this!

Regards,
Michiel

Hi cryppy,

your setup is actually small, but if you want to try a Multiserver environment I'd suggest to go with the Medium setup ad described in the Multi-Server Installation Guide:
- 1 LDAP + Mailstore server (LDAP is always necessary, as it holds your server configurations even if your users authenticate against an AD server)
- 1 MTA server

To perform an install, read carefully the guide and then apply the configurations for each kind of service you want to set up on your servers. You need a good knowledge of how the install works and how the various components are configured during the install process, so I'd suggest you to start a new installation from scratch and familiarize with all the options before adventuring into a multiserver install.

Hope this helped,
