==Assumptions==
New server is setup with the same HOSTNAME information as PROD but it will use a different IP until PROD can be shutoff/reconfigured (if needed)
 
==Preparing NEWHOST Server==
 
1. Install Newer (supported) Operating System that matches PROD
 
2. Set up newer ZCS Server’s Hostname as it was on the older server
 
3. Configure BIND locally on NEWHOST to handle resolution issues (A, MX, etc.)
 
A. On NEWHOST confirm /etc/hosts , /etc/resolv.conf
 
4. Download EXACT version that your PROD is using.
 
A. http://www.zimbra.com/products/downloads.html
 
B. http://www.zimbra.com/products/downloads_previous.html
 
5. On NEWHOST as ROOT: Run the installer with the -s option:
 
./install.sh -s
 
6. On NEWHOST as Root: Remove the dummy install:
 
rm -rf /opt/zimbra
 
A. This tells the installer to only install the software, and not to configure the installation.
 
==Sync PROD Data While PROD Is Still In Production Use==
 
1. First initial sync of PROD to NEWHOST
 
A. on PROD as Root
 
nice +19 rsync -avz -e ssh --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra
 
2. Sync daily until schedule downtime is available
 
A. On PROD as Root
   
nice +19 rsync -avz -e ssh --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra
 
==The Big Day - PROD Downtime For Switch==
 
1. Shut down Zimbra on PROD
 
A. On PROD as ZIMBRA
 
su - zimbra
zmcontrol stop
 
2. Last rsync of PROD to NEWHOST
 
A. On Prod as ROOT
 
nice -20 rsync -avz -e ssh --delete --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra

3. Fix permissions on NEWHOST
 
A. On NEWHOST as ROOT
 
run zmfixperms located in /opt/zimbra/libexec
 
4. Install of Zimbra on NEWHOST
 
A. On NEWHOST as ROOT, rerun the installer without the -s option
./install
 
B. It will detect ZCS already installed, and ask if you want to upgrade. Select Yes.
 
A. Reference wiki for instructions
