Conversion version from 2.5.24 to UMA NG


New article about the version 2.9.9.5 (01.2021)


New:

  • Download conversion version 2.9.9.x directly from the Maintenance menu.


Information

An upgrade from version 2.5.24 to UMA NG v3.x is not directly possible due to technical restructuring. Therefore, a conversion version was developed, with which the upgrade can be performed.


Preparations

Removing the Transparent Mode

The transparent mode is no longer available in UMA NG.
The HUB mode must be configured instead.
This can also be configured in step 4 of the upgrade wizard.


Access is only available via eth0

In previous versions up to UMA 2.5.24 the interfaces were bridged.
It was therefore irrelevant whether access was via eth0 or eth1. The eth1 interface is deactivated as of UMA v2.9.9

Access to the UMA as of v2.9.9 is exclusively possible via eth0

You should check which interface is used before the conversion.

  • Log in as admin on the console
    • via SSH with username (admin) and password (before Start SSH-Daemon in the menu Administration Maintenance System section Remote Login)
    • directly at the appliance (only admin password)
  • execute ip a
  • Result contains:
    • eth0: [...] state UP [...] : Interface eth0 is used. All is well
    • eth0: [...] state DOWN [...]: The interface must be changed mandatory.




Start of Version 2.9.9.x

  • During the update, conversion and upgrade to version 3.x a reboot is necessary several times.
  • During the conversion the user interface is not accessible.
  • The conversion can take several hours to days.
    Depending on the structure (fragmentation on the hard disk or in the raid) and hardware, between 20GB and over 50GB / hour are processed.
    1TB Mail archives -> 17h - 52h.(All information is for orientation only and is not binding.)
    • Provide the conversion version:

    • Users will not have access to the database during the upgrade
    • If a current version 3 has been successfully downloaded, the conversion can be started.

    Error messages

    UMA v2.9.9 Konvertierungsfehler SID.jpg

    Conversion completed with error message

    It is possible that errors occurred, but the conversion could still be completed.
    A common reason is, for example, a missing SID in the header
    This email never received an archiving SID and was therefore not archived correctly.
    An archiving was now carried out provisionally without a timestamp in the LTA.
    The conversion can be completed with the button Continue.

    Termination of the conversion

    In rare cases it can happen that the conversion terminates without result.
    In this case our support should be contacted to find solutions.

    If there is no possibility of conversion, it is possible to import a backup from UMA 2.5.x directly into UMA NG v3.
    This process is much faster than the conversion, but the timestamp and therefore the evidence value is lost. The prescribed archiving according to GoBD is still guaranteed.
