Hm. I don't seem to have that command. I have the following:

[root@vmhost10 ~]# xapi
xapi                     xapi-autostart-vms       xapi-db-process          xapi-wait-init-complete  
[root@vmhost10 ~]#

Well, I guess that means I should set it up.

You really should. It takes moments to setup and to get using it.

I've realized that there is other Zimbra maintenance that I need to schedule (most importantly upgrading from 8.6.0 to current). I'm going to do the shut down, rescan SR, and hope it coalesces when I do this work. I seem to be in OK shape for the moment. Alike is able to back it up and backups are good (I did a test restore successfully).

I'm on 8.8 I believe.

Haven't done it yet. Probably won't until mid March (possibly the weekend of the 16th). I'll update the thread when I do.

Just following up with this topic, how did this go?

Also for a Zimbra you will have some downtime when upgrading for sure (Not as much as if you did Exchange )
