Problem
In this article, we will explain how to move/migrate a zimbra server to another machine.
Prerequisites
Both the source and destination zimbra servers must be running the same version. E.g. if source is running 8.6, the installed zimbra on the destination must be also 8.6.
Resolution
Below are the steps that needs to be taken, to complete the migration:
1. # su - zimbra
2. $ zmcontrol stop
3. $ exit
4. Make sure all zimbra services are stopped: # ps aux | grep zimbra
5. Now, you can copy the /opt/zimbra directory to another backup location, and from there to copy it to the destination server, or you could mount external disc and copy it there.
4. As root user, copy it to the remote mashine:
- rsync -e ssh -axvzKHS /opt/zimbra/ 10.0.0.1:/opt/zimbra/
or to a local mounted disk:
- rsync -avH /opt/zimbra /mnt/zimbra_backup
