Patch upgrade

For minor version upgrade or patch upgrades we can use:

  1. Take backup of VM through snapshot etc. if possible. Other option is to take backup of entire /opt/zimbra folder.
  2. Take copy of /opt/zimbra/conf at another location for quick reference after upgrade
  3. Stop Zimbra as zimbra user
    zmcontrol stop
  4. Update packages as root user
    yum -y update
  5. Compare old copy of /opt/zimbra/conf with new copy for any manual changes that might have got overwritten during upgrade.
  6. Start zimbra again
    zmcontrol start


Major upgrade

For major version upgrade:

  1. Download the updated version of zimbra in .tgz (Zip) format
    We must keep both old and new zimbra setups with us for future recovery / restore operations
  2. Extract the files of updated version
  3. Take copy of /opt/zimbra/conf at another location for quick reference after upgrade
  4. Go through installation of zimbra using "./install.sh" with required platform override, if required
    The installer will automatically detect existing version and go through the update process.
  5. Compare old copy of /opt/zimbra/conf with new copy for any manual changes that might have got overwritten during upgrade.
