copy /opt/zimbra/ssl  to /sslbk.

create sslbk.zip from the directory /sslbk and transfer it to a holding server.

on the destination server stop the zimbra service.

As root transfer the sslbk.zip file from the holding server to the destination server.

re-name the existing /opt/zimbra/ssl  to ssl_old.

un-pack the  sslbk.zip file to the root directory as  /sslbk.

copy the /sslbk to /opt/zimbra/ and rename to ssl  so that /opt/zimbra/ssl is re-created using the directory from the source server.

Deploy the cert ./zmcertmgr deploycrt comm /sslbk/zimbra/commercial/commercial.crt //sslbk/zimbra/commercial/commercial_ca.crt
