Hello,
I'm about to migrate an pop3/imap server from dovecot to cyrus. I'm planning
to use the cyrus murder cluster in the long run, but the setup is a complex.
And since the migration from dovecot to cyrus shall be done very soon because
of performance problems in the current setup, I guess I can start faster with
the standarc cyrus.
Is it possible to migrate from cyrus to cyrus murder later or do I have to
setup a cyrus-murder completely separate so I cannot reuse parts of the
standard cyrus setup?
You can start with a single cyrus server and turn it into cyrus murder
easily later. We just did that "migration" a week ago here, and it was
totally painless. As with everything, I'd suggest doing it in a test
environment first.
Basically, all we did was bring up an empty murder master and 2 frontends,
then we reconfigured the backend server to use murder and restarted it.
Poof! :)
