Migrate a Zimbra 8.6 - Ubuntu 14.04 server to Zimbra 8.7.4 - Ubuntu 16.04. Getting started with the migration utility built into Zimbra 8.7.4.

Real-world use case
You need to upgrade an aging Zimbra server without losing any mail: here's how to migrate from Zimbra 8.6/Ubuntu 14.04 to Zimbra 8.7.4/Ubuntu 16.04.
Migrating a Zimbra server
Available for a few weeks now, the new Zimbra version and the latest Ubuntu system are compatible.
Migrating a Zimbra 8.6 server on Ubuntu 14.04 TLS to Zimbra 8.7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 isn't simple.
In my case, at the start, I laid out a three-step plan like this:
- Upgrading Zimbra 8.6 to 8.7.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 (testing period).
- Migrating the Ubuntu system from 14.04 LTS to 16.04.02 LTS.
- Reinstalling Zimbra 8.7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS.
I quickly became disillusioned at step 2 once I understood the issues with upgrading Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. I decided to start over on a new server. Step 2 therefore became: setting up a Zimbra 8.7.4 server on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, which led me to redefine the migration steps:
- Upgrading Zimbra 8.6 to 8.7.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 (testing period).
- Setting up a new Zimbra server on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
- Installing Zimbra 8.7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS.
- Migrating data from the old Zimbra 8.6.0 server to Zimbra 8.7.4.
Before starting, it's important to make one or more backups. Also, between step one and two, I gave myself a few weeks of testing to check the stability of Zimbra 8.7.4.
Upgrading Zimbra 8.6 to 8.7.4
To start a Zimbra migration to a major version, you need to know its prerequisites. Version 8.6 needs to have the following packages: memcached and proxy. If you don't have these modules in Zimbra, you'll need to reinstall them via the script for the version currently on your Zimbra server:
bash
root@mail:/home/jeremie/zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.UBUNTU14_64.20141215151116# ./install.sh
Here's the installation process for installing the two modules:

ZeXtras Suite needs to bind on TCP ports 8735 and 8736 in order
to operate, for inter-instance communication.
The ZeXtras Chat module needs to bind on TCP ports 5222 and/or
5223 in order for any XMPP feature to be functional.
Please verify no other service listens on these ports and that
ports 8735 and 8736 are properly filtered from public access
by your firewall.

The ZeXtras Suite Zimlet has been successfully installed.
===========================
After installing/uninstalling ZeXtras Suite Zimlet,
it's highly suggested to clear both your browser's and server's cache.
In order to clear your server's Zimlet cache, simply run
« zmprov fc -a zimlet »
as the zimbra user.
E.g. « su - zimbra -c 'zmprov fc -a zimlet' »
===========================
We'll enable the zimlets in Zimbra:
bash
su - zimbra -c 'zmprov fc -a zimlet'
Our Zimbra 8.7.x server is now installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
We'll then migrate to the Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS version; to do this, we'll use a fresh server.
Setting up a Zimbra 8.7.4 server on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
We'll use the following image: https://ubuntu-fr.org/telechargement?variante=server from March 5, 2017: 16.04.2 LTS.
The virtual machine uses the following hardware configuration:
- 2vCPU
- 4096MB of RAM
- 100GB of free space
- 1 network card (1GB/s)
We won't cover the Ubuntu installation steps; they're available here in French. for anyone interested.
As for me, I adapted my installation as follows (for the KVM hypervisor):
Once Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS is in place, we'll need to carry out the following installation steps:
Let's go to the network interfaces configuration:
bash
nano /etc/network/interface
Let's check our file with the ens3 interface (static configuration):
bash
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface ens3 inet static
address 192.168.10.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 255.255.255.255
gateway 192.168.10.1
Let's change the FQDN machine name:
bash
nano /etc/hostname
Let's add the subdomain to the file:
bash
webmail.kassianoff.fr
Then, let's edit the server's hosts file:
bash
nano /etc/hosts
Let's add the name resolution, the private IP address, and the server's FQDN name to the file:
bash
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.10.10 webmail.kassianoff.fr webmail
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Editing resolv.conf:
bash
nano /etc/resolv.conf
Then, let's add the following line:
bash
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Zimbra is local; to avoid DNS resolution issues, we need to use SPLIT-DNS.
Split DNS is the solution to the issues of using the same zone name internally and externally.
Using the same domain name internally and externally causes resolution problems.
Split-DNS will be used with the Dnsmasq software for its simplicity and efficiency.
Installing Dnsmasq:
bash
apt-get install dnsmasq
Go to the Dnsmasq configuration file:
bash
nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Write the following into the Dnsmasq file:
bash
#DNS
server=213.186.33.99
#public IP
server=188.165.54.37
domain=kassianoff.fr
mx-host=kassianoff.fr webmail.kassianoff.fr,5
listen-address=127.0.0.1
Checking the split-dns configuration:
bash
dig webmail.kassianoff.fr
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1 <<>> webmail.kassianoff.fr
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 39592

Our split-dns with Dnsmasq is ready! Don't forget to restart the network and the hostname:
bash
/etc/init.d/hostname restart && /etc/init.d/networking restart
Installing Zimbra 8.7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
We download Zimbra 8.7.4 for Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS at the following address: https://files.zimbra.com/downloads/8.7.4_GA/zcs-8.7.4_GA_1730.UBUNTU16_64.20170227060845.tgz
We need to import the repository key for Zimbra: (port 11371)
bash
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9BE6ED79
If, like me, you have firewall restrictions, import it from port 80:
bash
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 9BE6ED79
Without the repository key, you'll get the following error after running the Zimbra installation:
bash

Zimbra 8.6 to Zimbra 8.7.4 Migration Tools
There's a very handy tool in Zimbra administration called the Migration Wizard.
Go to the administration web interface of your new server: https://your\_ip:7071 then: Tools & Migration > Account Migration > Migration Wizard. Zimbra Migration Tool documentation.
To retrieve your LDAP password on the old server:
bash
zmlocalconfig -s zimbra_ldap_password ldap_master_url
At the end of the procedure, it offers to export the account parameters to import to a CSV file:
Retrieving the accounts is in progress in Account Migration (for reference, this is imapsync under the hood):
You then need to retrieve the contacts, calendars, attachments, notes, etc. via a utility.
Testing with Zmztozmig: an outdated utility?
Zimbra informs us that this utility has bugs and should be set aside.
I still tried using it with Zimbra 8.7.4 (example configuration file):
bash
nano /opt/zimbra/conf/zmztozmig.conf
Let's edit the file on the destination server like this:
bash
#Source ZCS server IP/name,admin user name and password, server port
SourceZCSServer=192.168.10.9
SourceAdminUser=admin
SourceAdminPwd=PASSADMIN
SourceAdminPort=7071
#Destination/Target ZCS server IP/name,admin user name and password, server port
TargetZCSServer=192.168.10.10
TargetAdminUser=admin
TargetAdminPwd=PASSADMIN
TargetAdminPort=7071
Threads=3
WorkingDirectory=/tmp/ztozmig/mailboxdumps/
FailedDirectory=/tmp/ztozmig/mailboxfailures/
SuccessDirectory=/tmp/ztozmig/successes/
LogDirectory=/opt/zimbra/log/ztozmiglogs
KeepSuccessFiles=FALSE
Domains=zimbra.local
Accounts=all
Let's run the command as the Zimbra user to retrieve our contacts, calendars, etc.:
bash
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmztozmig -f /opt/zimbra/conf/zmztozmig.conf
Here's the result:

Conclusion
This article covered migrating a Zimbra 8.6 server on Ubuntu 14.04 to Zimbra 8.7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.2: gradually upgrading Zimbra, installing the Zextras module, then setting up a new server on which accounts were retrieved via the built-in Migration Wizard. The initial plan had to be revised along the way due to difficulties upgrading the Ubuntu system, illustrating the importance of leaving room to maneuver during a complex migration. In the end, the rsync method remains the most reliable solution for transferring all the data from one Zimbra server to another.
