Zimbra version and platform
This script was developed and tested on Release 7 and 8, both open source and network editions on Redhat/CentOS 5 and Ubuntu 10.04LTS and 12.04LTS.
Introduction
This is an experimental solution to providing near-live synchronisation between two Zimbra servers so that one of them is live and the other is kept in a warm or very warm standby state.
The system is symmetrical. The sync can work in reverse when the mirror server becomes the active server. This allows easy fall-back to the original server once the failover condition is resolved.
Features:
- LDAP, message store, indexes and metadata kept in sync
- Mirror server can be brought online in a few minutes
- Live sync of redolog
- Minimum bandwidth, only changes to ldap and redolog transfered
- All communication and data over SSH with unique key
- Operates as "zimbra" user
- Works on both Open Source or Network edition
- Sync can work in either direction but only one way at a time
Preparation
Exactly the same version of Zimbra must be installed on both the live and mirror server. To start with we work on the live server. There is no need to stop Zimbra for most of the install. Only a short amount of down-time will need to be scheduled later to perform a final rsync operation between the two servers.
Install inotify-tools
For Redhat/Centos this is...
As user root:
yum install -y inotify-tools
For Ubuntu this is...
As user root
apt-get install inotify-tools
Create log rotation
The script will create a log file which can be handled by logrotate.
As user root:
echo "/opt/zimbra/live_sync/log/live_sync.log {
daily
missingok
copytruncate
rotate 7
notifempty
compress
}">/etc/logrotate.d/zimbra_live_sync
Create application directory
The script will live under the /opt/zimbra directory.
As user root:
mkdir /opt/zimbra/live_sync chown zimbra.zimbra /opt/zimbra/live_sync
SSH key
Create the SSH key and just press return every time you are prompted for a passphrase.
As user zimbra:
cd /opt/zimbra/.ssh ssh-keygen -b 4096 -f live_sync echo "command=\"/opt/zimbra/live_sync/sync_commands\" $( cat live_sync.pub )">>authorized_keys
Main script
The following script should be saved as live_syncd in the /opt/zimbra/live_sync directory. This should be owned by user zimbra and made executable.

Configuration File
The configuration file simply contains the IP addresses of the live and mirror server. The order is not important since this is worked out by the script by seeing which IP address is assigned to the local machine. The configuration file name is saved as live_sync.conf and saved in the /opt/zimbra/live_sync directory and readable by user zimbra. The following is an example, you obviously should use the real IP addresses of your own live and mirror servers.
server1="192.168.108.10" server2="192.168.108.11"
Enabling redo.log
For the Network edition, redo logs are already being created and are periodically moved to create incremental backups. For the open source version redo logs archiving must be enabled.
To see the current redo log related settings type the following as user zimbra
zmprov gacf | grep "RedoLog"
To enable redo log rollover on the open source version, type...
zmprov mcf zimbraRedoLogDeleteOnRollover FALSE zmprov mcf zimbraRedoLogEnabled TRUE
You may also want to make the redo log rotation more frequent to guarantee a file-system consistent redo log on the mirror server at least up to the last, say, thirty minutes. The live-streamed redo.log may not be consistent although it is unlikely this will ever be a problem except with the very last record in the log.
For example, to force rollover every half and hour, type...
zmprov mcf zimbraRedoLogRolloverFileSizeKB 1 zmprov mcf zimbraRedoLogRolloverMinFileAge 30
This will rollover if the size of the redo log is over 1KB after 30 mins, which is very likely unless the mail server is not sending or receiving any mail at all during this time.
You may want to reduce the zimbraRedoLogRolloverMinFileAge even further while setting and testing this script just so you don't have to wait too long to see stuff happening between the severs.
Mirror Server
The mirror server should ideally have the same operating system as the live server and must have exactly the same version of Zimbra installed.
The hostname must also be exactly the same.
Install inotify-tools
For Redhat/Centos this is...
As user root:
yum install -y inotify-tools
For Ubuntu this is...
As user root
apt-get install inotify-tools
Create log rotation
The logrotate configuration also needs to be done on the mirror server
As user root:
echo "/opt/zimbra/live_sync/log/live_sync.log {
daily
missingok
copytruncate
rotate 7
notifempty
compress
}">/etc/logrotate.d/zimbra_live_sync
First rsync between server
We now perform the first copy of the zimbra directory between the live and mirror server. On the mirror server we must stop Zimbra. We leave Zimbra running on the live server for now to reduce downtime.
The following rsync command is run on the mirror server. Substitute the hostname or IP address of the live server as required in the command below.
Note:Copying the sparse files used by LDAP in Zimbra 8+ takes a very long time even though the file is small.
As user root:
service zimbra stop rsync -aHz --force --delete --sparse live_server:/opt/zimbra/ /opt/zimbra/
Second rsync between server
This is where we need to stop Zimbra on the live server so that we can copy a consistent /opt/zimbra directory from the live to the mirror server. This is the only downtime required.
On the live server as user root:
service zimbra stop
On the mirror server as user root:
rsync -aHz --force --delete --sparse live_server:/opt/zimbra/ /opt/zimbra/
On the live server as user root:
service zimbra start
On the mirror server as user root (just to make sure we have a viable copy of Zimbra):
service zimbra start service zimbra status service zimbra stop
Running the script
Not only have we copied all the Zimbra data from the live to mirror server, we have also copied the script and SSH keys. We should now be able to try running the script.
On the mirror server as user zimbra:
cd /opt/zimbra/live_sync ./live_syncd start
All being well the script has started without any complaints and we can now tail the log file to see that it is syncing as expected.
tail -f log/live_sync.log
(CTRL-C to exit tail command)
Init script
I have also created an init script that may be useful for Ubuntu and Redhat/CentOS
CentOS/Redhat
Copy the below script as /etc/init.d/zimbra_live_sync.
On both the live and the mirror server make the script executable and add the script to chkconfig.
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zimbra_live_sync chkconfig --add zimbra_live_sync
On the live server make sure it doesn't start on boot.
chkconfig zimbra_live_sync off
On the mirror server ensure that Zimbra doesn't start on boot but the live sync script does.
chkconfig zimbra off chkconfig zimbra_live_sync_on
Ubuntu
Copy the below script as /etc/init.d/zimbra_live_sync.
On both the live and the mirror server make the script executable.
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/zimbra_live_sync
On the mirror server ensure Zimbra doens't start on boot but the live sync script does.
update-rc.d -f zimbra remove update-rc.d zimbra_live_sync defaults

exit $RETVAL
Failover
If the live server fails then the procedure on the mirror server is simply to stop the live_sync script then start Zimbra.
su - zimbra cd live_sync ./live_syncd stop zmcontrol start
Fallback
Simply run the script on the server to fail back to i.e. live and mirror are now reversed.
As user zimbra (on ex-live server to be restored back to live):
cd /opt/zimbra/live_sync ./live_syncd start
Once the script has caught up and synced the two servers together. Stop Zimbra on the other server.
As user zimbra on mirror (failover server)
zmcontrol stop
As user zimbra on live (restored server)
cd /opt/zimbra/live_sync ./live_syncd stop zmcontrol zimbra start
Warm or very warm standby
To replay redo logs only requires that the mailbox process is stopped. This is done automatically by the script. The script will work whether Zimbra has been started on the mirror or not as it will enable or disable services as and when it needs them. Keeping the rest of Zimbra running will drastically reduce the time it takes to fail over. This is only an advantage when access to the server domain can be quickly flipped or has a failover mechanism.
How and why it all works
Introduction
Zimbra employs several different databases to store messages, message indexes, meta-data, account information and configuration. Although it is possible to synchronise two Zimbra servers at the disk level using DRBD or VSphere, the amount of disk operations from all these databases that need to be replicated would probably take up a lot of bandwidth which may be debilitating and/or expensive to implement if the two servers are in remote locations.
Fortunately, Zimbra keeps a log of almost all it's transactions in the redolog. The only thing not logged here are changes to the LDAP database. An incremental backup is made up of an LDAP dump and a collection of redologs. An incremental backup can be used to bring a backup server up to date if the if the last full backup of the backup server was more recent than the oldest log in the redolog.
Redolog
If the redolog can be piped to a mirror server in real time then all the mirror server has to do is keep replaying the logs every so often and it will keep the same state as the live server. The only other thing to keep up to date is the LDAP database. Fortunately, the LDAP database doesn't change that often so it is quite easy to keep it synced on a directory level.
The easiest way to transfer the redologs is to use rsync. The only problem with that is that rsync does not run continuously. It also won't handle the archiving of redo.log very efficiently. When redo.log is renamed and moved to the archive rsync will delete it at the remote location then transfer it all over again to its new location in the archive. If we can catch this move taking place then we can move and rename the file on the mirror server before running rsync. Then rsync has very little to do, in theory, nothing except delete any files that have been purged. Another issue with rsync is that the file may be in the process of being written to when it is copied. This results in an incomplete file at the mirror. However, redologs are only ever appended to and so only the last record will be corrupted. Zimbra is designed to be tolerant of redolog corruption otherwise it would be of limited use as a disaster recovery tool.
To keep the redolog live, the "tail -f" command is used over ssh to pipe the file to the mirror. By calling "tail -f -c +0" it tails right back to the zeroth byte of the file, effectively a copy-then-stream command.
Redolog purging
If a Network edition is detected and incremental backups are enabled then the redologs are replayed before any rsync is performed as well as after. This ensures that everything is replayed before the files all disappear to the backup directory.
For the open source edition, or Network edition with no incremental backups scheduled, the redologs are purged if they are more than a day old and have been replayed. If the mirror server is down then the redologs will just accumulate on the live server to be replayed when the sync process is restarted before being purged.
LDAP
LDAP stores it's data in /opt/zimbra/data/ldap. This can be copied using rsync to the mirror as long as no changes take place during the copy. On versions of Zimbra older than 8.0, the directory is monitored for this during the rsync operation and repeated if there was any change during that time. For Zimbra 8+ the directory is monitored as before but changes are transfered using an LDIF export and import. This is necessitated by the long time it takes to rsync the sparse files that LDAP now uses to store data. Yes, it would be neater for old versions to use the LDIF method too but it wasn't broke so I didn't risk fixing it yet.
Known issues
- If the connection breaks at the very moment that the live stream of the redo.log starts, before the tail command reaches the point where it is tailing instead of cataloguing the file, then some of the redo.log will not make it to the mirror resulting in some loss of transactions. Fortunately, this is only ever likely very just after the log has rolled over so the worst-case losses should be minimal.
- LDAP is only checked every ten minutes so some losses are possible if the connection breaks in that time. However, LDAP isn't expected to change very often unless something major like a batch account migration is taking place.
- If any redologs go missing, or can't be replayed successfully for any reason, then there will be gaps synced email events. Mail may go missing on the mirror server. Check the live_sync logs for any log sequence numbers that appear not to have been transferred and processed. In the case of suspected data loss, stop all services and repeat the initial rsync process.
Nagios Integration
The script now generates useful status information for Nagios. The time since the last successful operations is measured and Nagios can raise an alert if the any part of the script appears to have not been successful for a longer than expected time.
