How to check the zimbra Database Integrity Check.

Check the mysql database using the command zmdbintegrityreport prior to making any system changes.

SINGLE SERVER UPGRADE.

• Upgarde service automatically stops and starts the servce.
• Use the (nohup) command while running the upgarde, so that it is immune to hangups.
• You have to do the backup first before you do an upgrade.

-- For multi server upgarde

• Stop all the server in the zcs environment.
• zmcontrol stop
• Upgarde process -- LDAP serer, Mail, Store Serer and then the MTA Server.

-- For MAC machines:

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl is the ZCS configuration upgrade.

To check the status of the server run the command zmcontrol status Or to start the service type zmcontrol start

To see the password on a serve, type zmlocalconfig -s
