Before upgrading your Zimbra platform, we would strongly recommend the following pre-upgrade steps:

Prepare

Always read (in full) the Release Notes for the version to which you are upgrading. The Release Notes are available for every release:

http://www.zimbra.com/downloads/ne-downloads.html

Check your database integrity

http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zmdbintegrityreport

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmdbintegrityreport -v

Backup your system

There are multiple ways to perform backups. Since upgrading permanently alters your system, it is mandatory to backup your system before you upgrade. The only recovery from a failed upgrade may be to restore from backups:

zmbackup your entire system

https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/CLI_-_zmbackup_Network_Edition_Only

Note: this may take multiple hours, be sure to plan in advance:

zmbackup -f

Backup your LDAP data

http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/LDAP_data_import_export

LDAP Main database:

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat /var/tmp

LDAP Config database:

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat -c /tmp

LDAP Accesslog database (on LDAP Master only):

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat -a /tmp

Backup your MySQL data

https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/MySQL_Backup_and_Restore

# su - zimbra
$ source ~/bin/zmshutil
$ zmsetvars

If using binary logging, the dump is run like the following:

$ /opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/mysqldump --user=root --password=$mysql_root_password --socket=$mysql_socket \
 --all-databases --single-transaction --master-data --flush-logs > {dump-file}.sql

If not using binary logging, the dump is run like the following:

$ /opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/mysqldump --user=root --password=$mysql_root_password --socket=$mysql_socket \
 --all-databases --single-transaction --flush-logs > {dump-file}.sql

Confirm that your SSL certs are all valid and not-expired

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr viewdeployedcrt all

Conclusion

If any of the above steps fail in any way, DO NOT UPGRADE. They must all succeed before you continue.
