<p>Things to consider <strong>before</strong> you begin:</p>
<div class="section" id="versions-to-upgrade-from">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Versions to upgrade from</a><a class="headerlink" href="#versions-to-upgrade-from" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Before upgrading to 3.6, your deployment should be running either:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>3.2.10 (or later), or</p></li>
<li><p>3.4.4 (or later)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>If your existing deployment predates these releases, you should first upgrade
to one of these versions, let it run for a while, resolve any issues that
come up, and only then upgrade to 3.6.</p>
<p>3.2.x prior to 3.2.10, 3.4.x prior to 3.4.4, and all 3.0.x and 2.x releases
have inconsistencies in their storage of an optional metadata field (mailbox
uniqueids).  This was not previously a problem due to the field being optional.</p>
<p>Architectural changes in 3.6 make mailbox uniqueids required for almost all
operations.  If these are inconsistent or missing, the upgrade may not succeed,
and the failure may be difficult to recover from.</p>
<p>3.2.10 and 3.4.4 contain changes that detect, report, and fix up missing or
inconsistent mailbox uniqueids, allowing for a safer upgrade to 3.6.</p>

<p>You will need to install from our packaged tarball. We provide a full list of

<p>In 3.6, mailboxes and user metadata directories are organised on disk by UUID
rather than by mailbox name.</p>
<p>At startup (or when you first run the updated <cite>ctl_cyrusdb -r</cite> manually),
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/ctl_cyrusdb.html#std-cyrusman-ctl_cyrusdb-8">ctl_cyrusdb(8)</a> will upgrade mailboxes.db to accommodate both
old-style and new-style storage.</p>
<p>By default, new top-level mailboxes will be created in the new style.
Mailboxes that already exist will remain in the old style until you convert
them with <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/relocate_by_id.html#std-cyrusman-relocate_by_id-8">relocate_by_id(8)</a>.  New mailboxes below the top level
will be created in the same style as their parent mailbox.</p>
<p>The new <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/cyr_ls.html#std-cyrusman-cyr_ls-8">cyr_ls(8)</a> tool can be used to examine the on-disk
contents of a given mailbox name.  <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/mbpath.html#std-cyrusman-mbpath-8">mbpath(8)</a> can be used to find
where on disk a given mailbox and its metadata are.</p>
<p>If you want new top level mailboxes to be created in the old style, you
can enable the <cite>mailbox_legacy_dirs</cite> <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/configs/imapd.conf.html#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5">imapd.conf(5)</a> option, which
defaults to <strong>off</strong>.  With this turned on, you may still use <cite>relocate_by_id</cite>
to convert them to the new style.</p>
<p>Sieve scripts are now stored in the ‘#sieve’ mailbox (configurable with the
<cite>sieve_folder</cite> <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/configs/imapd.conf.html#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5">imapd.conf(5)</a> option).  No manual steps are
necessary for upgrade: Cyrus recognises the old style storage and will
convert to the new style automatically as necessary.</p>

<div class="section" id="how-are-you-planning-on-upgrading">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">How are you planning on upgrading?</a><a class="headerlink" href="#how-are-you-planning-on-upgrading" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Ideally, you will do a sandboxed test installation of 3.6 using a snapshot of
your existing data before you switch off your existing installation. The rest
of the instructions are assuming a sandboxed 3.6 installation.</p>
<div class="section" id="upgrade-by-replicating">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Upgrade by replicating</a><a class="headerlink" href="#upgrade-by-replicating" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>If you’re familiar with replication, and your current installation is 2.4 or
newer, you can set up your existing installation to replicate data to a new
3.6 installation and failover to the new installation when you’re ready. The
replication protocol has been kept backwards compatible.</p>
<p>If your old installation contains mailboxes or messages that are older than
2.4, they may not have GUID fields in their indexes (index version too old),
or they may have their GUID field set to zero.  3.6 will not accept message
replications without valid matching GUIDs, so you need to fix this on your
old installation first.</p>
<p>You can check for affected mailboxes by examining the output from the
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/mbexamine.html#std-cyrusman-mbexamine-8">mbexamine(8)</a> tool:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>mailboxes that report a ‘Minor Version:’ less than 10 will need to have
their index upgraded using <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/reconstruct.html#std-cyrusman-reconstruct-8">reconstruct(8)</a> with the
<cite>-V &lt;version&gt;</cite> parameter to be at least 10.</p></li>
<li><p>mailboxes containing messages that report ‘GUID:0’ will need to have
their GUIDs recalculated using <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/reconstruct.html#std-cyrusman-reconstruct-8">reconstruct(8)</a> with the <cite>-G</cite>
parameter.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>If you have a large amount of data, these reconstructs will take a long time,
so it’s better to identify the mailboxes needing attention and target them
specifically.  But if you have a small amount of data, it might be less work
to just <cite>reconstruct -G -V max</cite> everything.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="upgrade-in-place">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7">Upgrade in place</a><a class="headerlink" href="#upgrade-in-place" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>If you are upgrading in place, you will need to shut down Cyrus
entirely while you install the new package.  If your old installation
was using Berkeley DB format databases, you will need to convert or
upgrade the databases <strong>before</strong> you upgrade.  Cyrus v3.6 does not
support Berkeley DB at all.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If you are upgrading from Cyrus version 2.5 or earlier,
and your system is configured with the following combination
in <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/configs/imapd.conf.html#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5">imapd.conf(5)</a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>fulldirhash: yes
hashimapspool: either yes or no
unixhierarchysep: yes
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>then you will not be able to upgrade-in-place.  This is due to
a change in how directory hashes are calculated for users whose
localpart contains a dot, which was introduced in 3.0.0.  After
an in-place upgrade, Cyrus will not be able to find these users’
metadata and/or mailboxes.</p>
<p>If you have this configuration, you will need to upgrade by
replicating, not in place.</p>

<p>Since the various files, databases, directories, etc. used by Cyrus

to <strong>always</strong> perform Cyrus commands <em>as</em> the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cyrus</span></code> user, and not

commands in this form – <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/manpages/systemcommands/cyr_info.html#std-cyrusman-cyr_info-8">cyr_info(8)</a> – before using
examples of them, so you’ll know that those commands <strong>must</strong> be run as
the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cyrus</span></code> user.</p>
<p>Doing so in most systems is as simple as using either the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">su</span></code> or

<p>If you upgrade murder frontends before you upgrade all the backends,
they may advertise features to clients which the backends don’t support,
which will cause the commands to fail when they are proxied to the backend.</p>
<p>Generally accepted wisdom when upgrading a Murder configuration is to
upgrade all your back end servers first. This can be done one at a time.</p>
<p>Upgrade your mupdate master and front ends last.</p>
<p>If you wish to use XFER to transfer mailboxes from an existing backend to your
new 3.6 backend, you should first upgrade your existing backends to 3.4.3,
3.2.9, or 3.0.17.  These releases contain a patch such that XFER will
correctly recognise 3.6 destinations.  Without this patch, XFER will not
recognise 3.6, and will downgrade mailboxes to the oldest supported format
(losing metadata) in transit.</p>
<p>If your existing backends are 2.4 or 2.5, there are equivalent patches for
recognising 3.6 on the cyrus-imapd-2.4 and cyrus-imapd-2.5 git branches, but
these are not in any released version.</p>
