Move all mailboxes to one Mailstore in multiserver configuration

Post by rokoyato »

Hi,

I have a server that I need to retire,

It's composed of 3 servers, one front/LDAP and 2 mailstore.

Due to some COS some domains have mailboxes on Mailstore 1 and other on Mailstore 2,

I have enough disk space on Mailstore 1 to host all the mailboxes which will simplify the migration process.

I can't find a zmprov command to move a mailbox from Mailstore 2 to Mailstore 1,

Does anyone as a solution ?

Thanks

Hi,

this is the result of zmcontrol -v Release 8.0.7.GA.6021. FOSS edition, Patch 8.0.7_P2

As you can see it is very very outdated and that's why I want to move everything asap,

thanks

There's no integrated tool in the OpenSource Edition to move mailbox between servers.

You'll have to backup/export the mailboxes from the current server, delete them from the setup then import them back to the new server.

Hi, thank's for your answer.

I plan to move everything to the new 8.8.15 OSE server with zextras.

My problem is to move all mailboxes from old server store B to old server store A, as it is the "same" zimbra serveur with simply 2 differents mailbox server I was thinking that there's might be a zmprov command to move a mailbox from store b to store a :(

Thank's anyway for your help.

As I said, you can't move from server A to server B with OpenSource Edition.

But if you setup a new server C (totaly new infrastructure, new LDAP, etc) with an up to date version, you can move from server A to server C and server B to server C with ZeXtras.

Yeah since this is my only option I will go for it,

sadly this will broke a lot of shares since some domains have account on both stores :/

Thanks a lot for your help,
