I recently upgraded a murder front end server from Solaris 9 SPARC to
Solaris 10 x86 by copying the /imap directory. I did dump the
mailboxes database before the copy. It's a skiplist database. I'm
running cyrus-imapd-2.3.8 on both systems. As a test, I first checked
on the mailboxes database like this:
# su cyrus -c ksh
# /usr/local/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d | wc -l
0
This message appeared in the log:
Jun 11 16:24:43 setup01 ctl_mboxlist[14082]: [ID 864961 local6.crit] DBERROR: critical database situation
After I reloaded it, I got the correct output:
# /usr/local/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -u < mailboxes.txt
# /usr/local/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d | wc -l
77
This is a test server with only a few mailboxes. I'll upgrade the
production server later.
I'm assuming that skiplist is dependant on the machine's byte order,
and that a dump and reload is necessary in this case.
Are there any other databases that I should also dump and reload? As
far as I can tell, the annotation_db, duplicate_db, and tlscache_db
are empty and can simply be removed. Are there any others on a murder
front end that I've missed? Where do they reside?
