Post your 11.0.4 Server upgrade/install experience

indexer reindexed the mailboxes after upgrade, the system was not really responsible for about six hours.

How many users do you have and how big is your mail store to take 6 hours for reindexing?

HI,

our system is indexing to after the upgrade, but we try to reduce the cpu load like described in the faq http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?ti ... e_CPU_time

We set in the general.cfg

IDX_MAXLOAD=1
IDX_MINLOAD=0.5

With this setting the load on a per CPU should be limited to an usable amount.

But something does not work, because we still have load average about 3.0

Why?

Hi davidz/stephan.klein,

For the issue mentioned here about the configuration file being overwritten

first being it changes the files in /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector back to originals so any changes made here will be lost.

1.configuration files are overwritten as mentioned here before (Debian install). I would
suggest to backup them or to keep the old ones and put a copy of the new ones with
different name in the matching directories.

I have created a bug for this issue:

I appreciate for the points put up here, let these be coming in, it helps. I would try be
replicating the other issues mentioned here and would create bug if necessary.

Thanks,

I upgraded a couple of days ago on the server and the Outlook connector and have a few oddities. I poted a couple ofmessdage inthe server and MS Outlook connector froums.

On the server I have "lost" a user. It no longer shows up in SAC but seems to work OK fromn the user end (it is my account).

On the connector I can see but no access either the File or Tools menus in Outlook 2003.

Everything was (as far as I know) fine with 11.0.2 on server and connector

I have sorted my issues but no idea whether they related to the upgrade.

Like a charm.

I don't have any custom configs. No Spamassassian or anything like that. We use a hardware solution for spam. It all went well. Slick as a greased pig. 2 thumbs up Scalix Devs and admins.

Many admins (including myself) express some reluctance to update live systems. Any idea, from Scalix support and/or other users, how to make upgrade more reliable and less nerve-wracking? Thanks
