Release Notes and Upgrade Instructions

Major New Feature Enhancements for 8.0

Zimbra Web Client Serenity User Experience
Streamlined User Interface. The user interface has been completely

redesigned with simplicity and ease of use being the key improvements.
The Zimbra 8 interface is more streamlined so that common actions are
easily discoverable and highly intuitive to use.
Conversation View. In Zimbra 8 email is presented to users in a natural

conversation view that makes reading and replying to messages

convenient and intuitive. Quoted text is hidden and messages are laid out
in a way that is easy for users to understand the in-reply-to relationship
between different messages in the same email thread. Discreet links to
Reply, Forward and More Actions (presented just below the email) let users
respond to messages quickly and efficiently.
Rich Composition. Improved composition editor allows users to craft rich

text emails, with features such as paste-style support from desktop

applications and the ability to include inline images bring the power of
desktop word processors to email.
Shared Tagging. In Zimbra 8 tagging functionality has been improved so

that when items are shared users cannot only use tags to organize their
data but also share these tags across applications as well as mailboxes.
Activity Stream
Activity Stream allows users extensive control over the messages that go to
their Inbox. Activity Stream is intended for low priority mail that the user will get
to at a later time. Users can easily set up activity stream filters that direct
incoming messages to various folders (or are deleted from) based on different
criteria that they can specify. For example, emails to distribution lists, feed and
notifications that are not directly addressed to the user can be archived in
folders that can be read when convenient.
Graymail filtering prevents users Inbox from being cluttered by legitimate but
unwanted emails.
Dedicated Search Tab
A dedicated search tab is created whenever a user enters a new query in the
header search box. This allows users to perform a search, navigate away from
the search tab to perform another action such as compose an email, or
schedule an event and then come back to the search tab to continue with the
query.
Zimbra 8 provides users with a simple yet powerful search interface allowing
users to perform simple actions such as quickly filter on common attributes or
perform complex search queries making use of complex logical operators.

Enterprise Calendaring
Zimbra 8 provides an intuitive and sophisticated enterprise calendaring
system that enables users to manage multiple calendars and provides support
for advanced scheduling activities.
Experience improvements to time and resource suggestions. Zimbra 8 has

significantly improved the users experience when working with the

appointment scheduling feature. Once users select attendees, Zimbra 8
can compare calendar availability and provide users with a list of suggested
meeting times. Similarly, based on meeting requirements such as the size
of the room and location, Zimbras scheduler can provide users with a list of
conference facilities that fit meeting requirements.
Merge and split views of Day view gives users the flexibility to view their

different calendars (e.g. personal and work-related) either individually or

overlaid on top of each other. (In other words, see a merged view of
appointments from several different calendars in one calendar.)
Landscape and date range printing provides users greater control over how

calendars are printed.

Wizard to add external calendars when users right-click to create new

calendars. Zimbra 8 supports importing several popular calendar formats

including Google and Yahoo! Calendars.
Automatic provisioning of accounts
Accounts in Zimbra can be provisioned with attributes populated from

Active Directory or another LDAP directory. Accounts can be provisioned

ad hoc automatically polling for new accounts
Dynamic distribution list support to automatically populate DL membership

accounts based on account attributes

Compliance
Litigation hold without forking the mailbox or needing to deploy additional

infrastructure
Custom folder retention and disposal policies can be enabled by IT or end

user
Administrative roles linked to Active Directory groups to enhance federated

identity access and authorizations

Migration
Multi-threaded for parallel mailbox migrations and improved scalability
Stage and schedule migrations with improved visibility into real-time

statistics and error-logging

Migrate out of office settings to reduce migration scheduling conflicts

Messages are no longer lost while moving a mailbox during a

zmmboxmove session.
The zmmboxmove feature is enhanced as follows:

If the source server does not support the new lock API that
prevents data changes to the mailbox, meaning the server
version is too old, an error is given at the command line
stating that the source server version does not support the
zmmboxmove command.
A -force option is provided at the command line. The force
option overrides the source server version check and offers a
warning message at the command line stating not all data
may be copied from the source to the destination mailbox.
The source mailbox should be manually inspected and any
remaining data must be migrated manually.

If the zimbra-mta service is installed, Swatch will use it for

delivering messages. If it is not installed, Swatch will attempt to
use the system sendmail binary for delivering messages.
On multi-node servers that do not have zimbra-mta installed, it is
necessary to ensure that there is a system sendmail binary that
is correctly configured to deliver email if administrators expect
swatch notifications to work.

68263

Created generic protocol throttle for POP3 and IMAP4 servers.

The throttle will limit requests/second from a given IP and from a
given account ID. The limit is enforced per-protocol; i.e. requests
from POP and IMAP clients are handled separately.
The limits are configurable in LC, with the following keys and
default values:
imap_throttle_ip_limit - default 250
imap_throttle_acct_limit - default 250
imap_throttle_command_limit - default 25
pop3_throttle_ip_limit - default 200

Index data for mailboxes is never deleted so a mailbox index

can become very large over time and might be consuming
excess disk space because of the large index data.
In 8.0, a new zmprov CLI, compactIndexMailbox (cim) was
created to compact index data. This command can be used to
reclaim disk space when the index volume starts to become full.
To compact a mailboxs index, type

zmprov cim <name@domain|id> start

Note: Depending on the size of the mailbox and the number of
deletes this might take awhile. This might require additional free
space on the index directory.
You can run this command concurrently. It is recommended to
run this command during off peak hours. You cannot cancel the
command once it is started.

Zimbra Database Integrity Check

Some customers have had corrupted databases prior to upgrade, and the
upgrade has in some of those cases exacerbated the problem. In order to
detect any corrupted databases as early as possible, we have added an
optional step to check the MySQL database with zmdbintegrityreport prior to
making any system changes. You are prompted to decide if you would like to
run the zmdbintegrityreport.
The zmdbintegrityreport can take minutes to an hour to run, depending on
your system size and disk bandwidth.
Note: The zmdbintegrityreport is run on a weekly basis from cron on all
zimbra-store nodes. Large sites can opt to disable this by setting
zmlocalconfig -e zmdbintegrityreport_disabled=TRUE. If you choose to
disable this, it is recommended that the integrity reports be run by hand
during the your normal maintenance windows and prior to running any
ZCS upgrades.

Release Notes and Upgrade Instructions

Preparing Your OS
Before you upgrade ZCS, Zimbra recommends that the operating system is
updated with the latest patches that have been tested with ZCS.
Ubuntu OS
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server Edition (for 8.0.8 and later)
Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Server Edition running the saucy (3.11) or later kernel

is required. Note: If the original install was done with Ubuntu 12.04.2 or
earlier, manual intervention is required to switch to the saucy (3.11) or later
kernel series. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack for
further information.
You can find your current kernel version by running uname -a. For example:
build@zre-ubuntu12-64:~$ uname -a
Linux zre-ubuntu12-64 3.11.0-17-generic #31~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 4
21:25:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

For more information, see:

Bug 85308. For vCloud caveats, see comment #6.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS
Beginning with ZCS 8.0, only Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (64) is supported. If
you are running an earlier version of RHEL, make sure you install this OS
before upgrading to ZCS 8.0.
SLES 11 OS only
If your OS is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, we recommend you have SP3
installed (SP3 is required for 8.0.5 and later). (Bug 83032, 83676)

Verify Certificates Expiration Date

ZCS 8.0.x requires a valid self-signed or commercial SSL certificate for
communication between some components. The self-signed certificates that
are automatically created by the ZCS install have a default expiration in ZCS
7.2 or earlier of 365 days, beginning with ZCS 8.0 default expiration is 1825
days (5 years).
If you have an ZCS installation that is over one year old and are using selfsigned certificates, your certificates will need to be updated either prior to the
upgrade or immediately following the upgrade.
After you upgrade, the following commands run as the zimbra user will
regenerate the self-signed SSL certificates:
sudo zmcertmgr createca -new
sudo zmcertmgr deployca

Upgrading LDAP Replica Servers or Multi-Master Server from ZCS

8.0.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2 to ZCS 8.0.4 and later
If you have replica servers or are in multi-master mode, you have to install the
Zimbra LDAP schema specific to the release you are upgrading to onto the
replica servers or onto the multi-master server before you upgrade to ZCS
8.0.4 and later. (Bug 81048)
1. On the master LDAP server, perform a software installation only of ZCS

8.0.4 or later.
./install.sh -s
2. On each replica or additional master LDAP server in MMR mode, as

zimbra user:
a. Stop the server:
ldap stop or zmcontrol stop
b. Move the zimbra schema out of the way
cd /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config/cn=config/cn=schema
mv cn={4}zimbra.ldif /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/cn={4}zimbra.ldif.dead
c. Copy the schema from the master LDAP server.
scp root@<master>:/opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/zimbra.ldif
cn={4}zimbra.ldif
d. Edit cn={4}zimbra.ldif to change the following two lines:
dn: cn=zimbra,cn=schema,cn=config

------->

dn: cn={4}zimbra

cn: zimbra

------->

cn: {4}zimbra

e. Start the server:

ldap start or zmcontrol start
3. On the master LDAP server run:

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl
4. On each replica server run:

./install.sh

Release Notes and Upgrade Instructions

Update Default Proxy SSL Ciphers Attribute

Insecure SSL ciphers have been removed from the default proxy
configuration. Existing sites are recommended to review their enabled ciphers
and set zimbraReverseProxySSLCiphers to
RC4:HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!kEDH:!AD:!SSLv2 for maximum security.
Note: Some clients might need to be reconfigured if they were previously
using a cipher which is now disabled. (Bug 80133)

Using Zimbra Clustering

Zimbra Clustering is no longer available for ZCS 8.0. VMware provides
integrated high availability between Zimbra and VMware
HA for automated recovery of critical Zimbra application services and server
components in the event of an application or infrastructure failure. Third party
solutions such as network load balancers, storage mirroring, or OS clustering
solutions like Red Hat Cluster Suite may be used in your deployment, but are
not specifically tested or certified by VMware. (Bug75821)

Upgrade Instructions
Go to www.zimbra.com Open Source Edition Download page for the latest
version of the software.
Important: Even though the upgrade process does not delete accounts on the
mailbox server, you should back up the mailbox server before you begin the
upgrade. After you upgrade, you should back up your server again.
When you run the install script, if ZCS is already installed, you will be asked if
you want to upgrade. Follow the instructions in this release note to perform the
upgrade. For additional information, refer to the installation guide.
Important: Zimbra recommends that an install or upgrade session be run with
a UNIX command such as screen to help prevent an install or upgrade
session from terminating before it is completed. This is important when the
upgrade includes restoring a configuration that has a large number of
accounts.
Example command usage: screen ./install.sh
Note: You cannot revert to a previous ZCS release after you upgrade.

Single-Server Upgrade Steps

Read the release notes before you begin.
You do not need to stop the services before upgrading. The upgrade process
automatically stops and starts the services as required for the upgrade.

Release Notes and Upgrade Instructions

1. Log in as root to the Zimbra server and cd to the directory where the ZCS

Open Source Edition 8.0.9 archive tar file is saved (cd /var/tmp). Type the
following commands:
tar xzvf zcs.tgz, to unpack the file
cd [zcsversionfullname], to change to the correct directory
./install.sh, to begin the upgrade installation

The upgrade script begins by checking for an existing installation .

2. The Zimbra software agreement is displayed. Read this software license

agreement and type Y.

3. The installer checks for prerequisites. If any are missing, the upgrade
stops. Next, Do you want to verify message store database integrity (Y) is

displayed. The default is Yes. This step runs zmdbintegrityreport to verify

that the MySQL database is not corrupt before upgrading to the latest
ZCS.
The zmdbintegrityreport can take minutes to an hour to run, depending on
your system size and disk bandwidth. It is preferable that you run
zmdbintegrityreport at the time of the ZCS upgrade. If you choose to skip
this now, the zmdbintegrityreport will run during a regular scheduled
interval after the upgrade is finished.
4. When Do you wish to upgrade? [Y] is displayed, press Enter to continue.

The upgrade packages are unpacked.

5. The packages are listed. The installer also lists packages that are not
installed. If you want to install the packages at this time, type Y; otherwise
press Enter. The upgrade checks that there is enough space to perform

the upgrade. If there is not enough space, the upgrade stops.

6. When The system will be modified. Continue? [N] is displayed, type Y and
press Enter. The Zimbra server is stopped, and the older packages are

removed. The upgrade process verifies which version of ZCS is being run
and proceeds to upgrade the services, restores the existing configuration
files, and restarts the server. If you have a configuration with a large
number of accounts created, this can take a while.
7. If you have not set the time zone, you will be asked to set it. This sets the

time zone in the default COS. The time zone that should be entered is the
time zone that the majority of users in the COS will be located in.
8. When Configuration complete press return to exit displays, press Enter.

The upgrade is complete.

Multi-Server Environment Upgrade Steps

Upgrade the servers in the following order. Update each server one at a time.
LDAP master server. The LDAP master server must be running as you

upgrade the other servers.

Release Notes and Upgrade Instructions

LDAP replicas
MTA servers
Proxy servers
Mail store servers
IMPORTANT: Certificates. If self-signed certificates are used, after the LDAP

master is upgraded, the self-signed certificates must be redeployed on all

remaining nodes BEFORE they are upgraded. If you do not do this, the
upgrade will fail. Use CLI zmcertmgr to add the certificates. As root, type
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr deploycrt self
Process
1. Log in as root to the Zimbra server and cd to the directory where the ZCS

upgrade archive tar file is saved (cd /var/tmp). Type the following
commands:
tar xzvf zcs.tgz, to unpack the file
cd [zcsversionfullname], to change to the correct directory
./install.sh, to begin the upgrade installation

The upgrade script begins by checking for an existing installation.

2. Three software license agreements are displayed. Read these license
agreements and enter Y for each.
3. The installer checks for prerequisites. If any are missing, the upgrade

stops.
4. When you upgrade the mail store server, the installer displays Do you want
to verify message store database integrity (Y) is displayed. The default is
Yes. This step runs zmdbintegrityreport to verify that the MySQL

database is not corrupt before upgrading to the latest ZCS.

Running zmdbintegrityreport can take minutes to an hour to run,
depending on your system size and disk bandwidth. It is preferable that
you run zmdbintegrityreport at the time of the ZCS upgrade. If you choose
to skip this now, the zmdbintegrityreport will run during a regular scheduled
interval after the upgrade is finished.
When the MySQL software versions are changed during upgrades, the
underlying database tables need to be upgraded. The zmdbintegrityreport
does this automatically during its first run and will report the changes.
These are normal and should not cause alarm when upgrading.
5. When Do you wish to upgrade? [Y] is displayed, press Enter to continue.

The upgrade packages are unpacked.

6. The packages you want to install on the server should be marked Y. All
other packages should be marked N.

The upgrade checks that there is enough space to perform the upgrade. If
there is not enough space, the upgrade stops.
7. When The system will be modified. Continue? is displayed, type Y and
press Enter. The server is stopped and the older packages are removed.

The upgrade process verifies which version of ZCS is being run and
proceeds to upgrade the services, restores the existing configuration files,
and restarts the system. If you have a configuration with a large number of
accounts created, this can take a while.
8. When Configuration complete press return to exit displays, press Enter.

The upgrade is complete. Continue to upgrade each server.

After the Upgrade is Complete

Important: A known issue is the administration console might report a
CSFE_SVC_ERROR with HTTP status code 503 when viewing the HSM or
indexing sections. Users experiencing this frequently might add the
administrator's web browser IP address to the DOS filter whitelist. See http://
wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/DoSFilter for details on whitelist configuration. (Bug
82384)
After you completed the upgrade, the following might need to be addressed.
During the upgrade process, zimbra might make a binary backup of

existing databases when there are major structural changes occurring to

the database format for ease of downgrading. Administrators will want to
clean these up once they have confirmed a successful upgrade. For LDAP
servers, these backups are in /opt/zimbra/data/ldap, and in the form of
<dbname>.prev.$$" where $$ is the process ID of the upgrade script. (Bug
81167)
You should run zmldapupgrade -b 66387 after upgrading.

Beginning with 8.0, zimbraAllowFromAddress attribute cannot be set for

internal accounts or distribution lists. Running this script will change
zimbraAllowFromAddress values to grants.
This step was not included into the installer-driven upgrade due to
potentially long delay for sites that set zimbraAllowFromAddress on many
accounts.
The migration command reports how many accounts had
zimbraAllowFromAddress attribute set and how many of them needed

migration. One way to verify all accounts got migrated is to run the
command again. The total won't change, and the number migrated should
be 0. (Bug 66387)
If your self-signed SSL certificates have expired, update them. See Verify

Certificates Expiration Date on page 27.

If using zmlogger prior to ZCS 8.0.7, see Cleanup Procedure for Logger

Host on page 34.

Cleanup Procedure for Logger Host

When using zmlogger prior to ZCS 8.0.7, it is possible that numerous rdd files
could be generated causing large amounts of disk space to be used. ZCS
8.0.7 contains a patch that prevents future additional growth of rdd files on the
logger server. To clean up existing rdd files, use the following script to remove
rdd files from your server. (Bug 85222)
Cleanup Script
sudo su - zimbra
zmloggerctl stop
cd logger/db/data
mkdir -p wrong_rrds
for nhostid in $(sqlite3 /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/logger.sqlitedb 'select
id from hosts'); do for ID in $(sqlite3 logger.sqlitedb "select rrd_file,
col_name_19 from rrds Where csv_file == 'imap.csv' and host_id ==
${nhostid}" | egrep "__[0-9]+$" | cut -d'|' -f1 | sort -n | uniq); do mv
rrds/${nhostid}-$ID.rrd /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/wrong_rrds/; done ; done
for mon in {1..12}; do MON=$(LANG=en_US; date +%b -d 2013-${mon}-01);

sqlite3 logger.sqlitedb "VACUUM;"
zmloggerctl start
rm -R /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/wrong_rrds
rm /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/logger.sqlitedb.backup

Updating your MySQL table

If you upgrading from 6.X to ZCS 8.0 or later, MySQL table upgrade is
required after upgrading. If you do not upgrade MySQL, regular reports from
zmdbintegrityreport are going to flag warnings in your MySQL table.
Customers can avoid these errors in the zmdbintegrityreport output by
executing /opt/zimbra/libexec/scripts/migrate20100913-Mysql51.pl.
(Bug 24329, 50557)
MySQL upgrades are not automatically run during the upgrade to 8.0.x,
because of the time that it takes this process to run. There is no known
performance impact when running in production without doing this MySQL
table upgrade.
Applying the Mysql51.pl script requires all Zimbra services except
mysql.server to be stopped.
This script should be executed on all the mailstore servers where the mailboxd
process is running. For a 4000 mailbox, 250 MB mailbox size, the script could
take about 70 minutes to run. Customers should schedule their maintenance
window accordingly.

Release Notes and Upgrade Instructions

Status of Your Customization to ZCS after Upgrade

Upgrading to the newest release does not delete your accounts or change
your configuration.
Configuration settings stored in LDAP and localconfig are preserved during
upgrades. Any files installed by ZCS might be deprecated and/or overwritten
during upgrades, removing any customizations. This includes customized
themes, logo branding changes, and crontab changes.
Only the core Zimlets are enabled after the upgrade. Zimlets that you
customized and/or deployed are preserved during the upgrade but will be
disabled. As upgrading of customized Zimlets cannot be tested before the
release, Zimbra recommends that you verify that your customized Zimlets
work correctly before re-enabling them for your end-users after the upgrade.
The core Zimlet list is on page 25.
Note: When upgrading to ZCS 8.0.x from a previous major ZCS version, the
upgrade step disables zimlets that are not the core zimlets for ZCS in
all COSs. If you have enabled other zimlets at the account level, you
might need to manually disable these zimlets. (Bug 77836)
All entries between the designated comments in the Zimbra crontab file are
overwritten with new defaults upon upgrade.

Changes to Customized Themes

In ZCS 8.0, a new design for default skins was implemented. Custom skins
created for Zimbra 7.x might not work as intended with Zimbra 8.x. Depending
on what's in the skin, the issues might range from simple things such as colors
being used in the wrong places to larger issues like functional components
being hidden or placed in inaccessible areas of the screen. The proper fix for
this is to take an existing 8.x skin, duplicate it, and update the skin to meet the
same needs as the old skin. (Bug 62523)

Using the Social Zimlet

Configure the Social Zimlet in Facebook:
1. Go to the following in Facebook https://developers.facebook.com/apps.
2. Click Create new App.
3. Set up the Zimlet similar to the following screenshot:

Enter a Display Name and Contact Email.

For App Domains, enter the clients domain instead of localhost.
Disable Sandbox Mode to allow others to use.

The ability to completely disable SSL Renegotiation might be desirable for some
environments, but due to the performance degradation it is not optimal to use as
a default setting.
The SslSelectChannelConnector can be forced to disable client renegotiate
requests via the "allowRenegotiate" attribute, for said connector, in jetty.xml.in/
jetty.xml.
The default setting is allowRenegotiate=TRUE. Explicitly setting to "FALSE" will
configure ZCS to always disallow SSL renegotiation for the SSL connector in
question. A mailboxd restart is required for this change.
