Hi, Sometimes, we need to redistribute mailboxes between different Cyrus partitions in the same server. We do it by blocking previously any kind of accesses to the mailbox and after stopping any kind of active connection to that mailbox. I was wondering, if this exactly, is really needed because it’s really something that could cause problems to the mailbox (we do it this way always, as a procedure for avoiding problems, but is it really needed??). I’m in the process of automating this kind of operation, but reading some info before writing code, I have seen that Cyrus murder allows “live” mailbox migration… perhaps is this another option for avoid doing mailbox rename operations for moving a mailbox to a different partition?.
I have read too (perhaps have not understand properly), that a Cyrus Murder can redirect requests to another mailbox server, in case one of them fails?. Is it like a automated way of changing master/slave roles?. How is your experience with murders?. Do they allow this what I have asked?. If they do have you ever seen any kind of issue with it?, Cheers, ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
