How To Use Script To Migrate Zimbra To Carbonio | Carbonio CE 

July 25, 2023 by Shariful Islam In Admin Guide , Migration , Zextras Carbonio

We hope you read the first article which is about Zimbra to Carbonio CE migration using imapsync method. From the first article, you already understood that migration can be easy and simple if you understand the process.

Using this method you can migrate your email data including contacts and calendar from Zimbra server to Carbonio CE.

How are we going to do it?

Let me give you a graphical overview of how this method works:

To Summarize the steps:

  • We extract user data (account details) and transfer them to Carbonio CE server.
  • Then we import the transferred data to Carbonio CE server.
  • We modify DNS record (MX) to make Carbonio CE server active.
  • Now we again export email data from Zimbra Server to Carbonio CE server and Import them.

Benefits of this method

The main benefit of this migration method is you are get to migrate not only user email data but also contacts and calendar data of all respective user.

Important Note:

The process of transferring and importing old data can increase system load in Carbonio CE server significantly. So you can transfer/import old data in a small chunk without putting much load on the Carbonio CE server OR you can take a server migration downtime window to complete this step.

As this method involves data export import process on both Zimbra & Carbonio CE server, make sure you have enough space in the server or you use external storage to store temporary data.

Migration steps

On Zimbra server, check the service status before starting the migration process:

Finally, you can check users message count and other information to verify them later. i.e. 

zimbra@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$ for j in $( zmprov -l gaa | egrep -v "^(spam|ham)"); do total=0; echo -n "Total for $j = "; for i in $( zmmailbox -z -m "$j" gaf | awk '{print $4}' | egrep -o "[0-9]+" ); do total=$((total + i )); done; echo "$total"; done

Total for lorenzo@testdomain1.com = 12
zimbra@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$

Step-2

Transfer Data From Old Zimbra Server To New Carbonio CE Server

Before transferring the data check all services are running and then create folder on the Carbonio CE server.

zextras@mail:~$ zmcontrol -v
Carbonio Release 23.6.0
zextras@mail:~$
zextras@mail:~$
zextras@mail:~$ zmcontrol status
Host mail.example.com
        amavis                  Running
        antispam                Running
        antivirus               Running
        directory-server        Running
        mailbox                 Running
        memcached               Running
        mta                     Running
        opendkim                Running
        proxy                   Running
        service webapp          Running
        service-discover        Running
        stats                   Running
        config service          Running
zextras@mail:~$

Now create folders as they were created on the Zimbra server.

root@mail:~# mkdir -p /opt/backups/zmigrate
root@mail:~# chown -R zextras:zextras /opt/backups/zmigrate
root@mail:~# cd /opt/backups/zmigrate
root@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate#

Transfer data to the new server. You can use rsync or any other tool to transfer these data. For example:

[You may need to modify/adjust the permissions of source/destination folder]
rsync -avp /opt/backups/zmigrate/* root@new_server_ip:/opt/backups/zmigrate/

root@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate# rsync -avp /opt/backups/zmigrate/* root@192.168.1.192:/opt/backups/zmigrate/*

root@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate#

Step-3

Let me remind you:

The process of transferring and importing old data can increase system load in Old server& Carbonio CE server. So you have two choices:
1. You can transfer/import old data in a small chunk without putting much load on the both servers
2. You can take a server migration downtime window to complete the transfer & import step.

Step-4

Restore all domains

zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$ carbonio prov -l gad
example.com
zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$
zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$
zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$ for i in `cat /opt/backups/zmigrate/domains.txt `; do  carbonio prov cd $i zimbraAuthMech zimbra ;echo $i ;done
ac52982c-17b0-48bf-910f-468df2f08c6f
testdomain1.com
zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$ carbonio prov -l gad
example.com
testdomain1.com
zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate$

Create/Restore all email accounts with old passwords and user data in the Carbonio CE server

[Create a script and modify the execution permission, ownership etc]
#!/bin/bash
#Script for creating the email accounts createacct.sh
USERPASS="/opt/backups/zmigrate/userpass"
USERDATA="/opt/backups/zmigrate/userdata"
USERS="/opt/backups/zmigrate/emails.txt"
for i in `cat $USERS`
do
givenName=$(grep givenName: $USERDATA/$i.txt | cut -d ":" -f2)
displayName=$(grep displayName: $USERDATA/$i.txt | cut -d ":" -f2)
shadowpass=$(cat $USERPASS/$i.shadow)
tmpPass="CHANGEme"
carbonio prov ca $i CHANGEme cn "$givenName" displayName "$displayName" givenName "$givenName"
carbonio prov ma $i userPassword "$shadowpass"
done

Step-5

Now you can change the DNS record (MX record) to migrate the service from Zimbra to Carbonio CE.

We still need to export, transfer & export user data (email, contacts, calendars)

Step-6

Important Note:

Few things you should keep in mind before starting the mailbox export/import process:
1. Set the socket timeout high (i.e. zmlocalconfig -e socket_so_timeout=3000000; zmlocalconfig –reload)
2. Check if you have any attachment limits. If you have increase the value during the migration period.

Export Data from Zimbra Server and transfer them to Carbonio CE:

Step-7

Import the data to the Carbonio CE server: [On Carbonio Server]

Important Note:

Few things you should keep in mind before starting the mailbox export/import process:
1. Set the socket timeout high (i.e. zmlocalconfig -e socket_so_timeout=3000000; zmlocalconfig –reload)
2. Check if you have any attachment limits. If you have increase the value during the migration period
3. Set Public Service Host Name & Public Service Protocol to avoid any error/issue like below one

root@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX# chown zextras:zextras *

zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX$ for i in `cat /opt/backups/zmigrate/emails.txt`; do zmmailbox -z -m $i -t 0 postRestURL "/?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" /opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX/$i.tgz ; echo "$i -- finished "; done

[Finally after the fix mentioned in the previous important note specially about setting PublicServiceProtocol as https 🙂]

zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX$ for i in `cat /opt/backups/zmigrate/emails.txt`; do zmmailbox -z -m $i -t 0 postRestURL "/?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" /opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX/$i.tgz ; echo "$i -- finished "; done

zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX$

Now check the message count and other information to verify the migration:

zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX$ for j in $( carbonio prov -l gaa | egrep -v "^(spam|ham)"); do total=0; echo -n "Total for $j = "; for i in $( zmmailbox -z -m "$j" gaf | awk '{print $4}' | egrep -o "[0-9]+" ); do total=$((total + i )); done; echo "$total"; done
Total for zextras@example.com = 8
Total for virus-quarantine.magoeimvge@example.com = 0
Total for galsync.htriqf0fj6@example.com = 0
Total for admin@testdomain1.com = 2765
Total for virus-quarantine.przjjrzi@testdomain1.com = 5
Total for galsync.6lkcyfrni@testdomain1.com = 5
Total for stefania@testdomain1.com = 61
Total for arman@testdomain1.com = 18
Total for flaminia@testdomain1.com = 58
Total for irene@testdomain1.com = 47
Total for suman@testdomain1.com = 41
Total for annalisa@testdomain1.com = 34
Total for sharif@testdomain1.com = 45
Total for luca@testdomain1.com = 31
Total for carlo@testdomain1.com = 24
Total for paolo@testdomain1.com = 10
Total for matteo@testdomain1.com = 11
Total for fabio@testdomain1.com = 26
Total for lorenzo@testdomain1.com = 12
zextras@mail:/opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX$

So our message count shows the migration is successful. Still let’s check the contacts and calendar data from GUI of user accounts:

So you can see user stefania@testdomain1.com & carlo@testdomain1.com has their contacts and calendar events migrated properly.

So that’s it.

As this is a semi automatic process, please keep aware of the permission/ownership issues during executing any command. Also please do not copy/paste command to avoid typo.

Thanks for your time.

🙂

Does this also move Briefcase files, Tasks, and Preferences?

Hello, I've used these instructions and some of the emails in the Inbox folder are not copied to Carbonio CE. I have 1055 mails on zimbra and only 563 are copied to Carbonio. Everything else (Sent folder, Trash, Calendars, Contacts) migrated successfully. I tried imapsync to sync the Inbox and a few seconds after the imapsync is done the emails are deleted from the server. I've matched the values of zimbraFileUploadMaxSize, message_size_limit and zimbraMailContentMaxSize to be the same as the zimbra server but the problem still persists. Can you help me figure out a solution? Thanks

In this part for i in `cat /opt/backups/zmigrate/emails.txt`; do zmmailbox -z -m $i -t 0 postRestURL "/?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" /opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX/$i.tgz ; echo "$i -- finished "; done No need to modify PublicServiceProtocol, just run with the -u option for i in `cat /opt/backups/zmigrate/emails.txt`; do zmmailbox -z -m $i -t 0 postRestURL -u https://$HOSTNAME "/?fmt=tgz&resolve=skip" /opt/backups/zmigrate/MBOX/$i.tgz ; echo "$i -- finished "; done

Using the option as you have put, I stopped restoring many emails from 2021 onwards, it did not restore anything
