migrate ZCS NE 7 from 64-bit to 32-bit

[umarzuki]

For some reason I need to do this. both on separate VMware ESXi
Would it be possible to do this like below?
1- do ldap dump on old server

2- match localconfig settings from old to new

3- restore ldap to new server

4- delete /opt/zimbra/db/data/ on new server

5- copy /opt/zimbra/db/data/ from old server to new server

6- copy /opt/zimbra/store/ & /opt/zimbra/index/ from old server to new server

7- remove contents of /opt/zimbra/redolog/ on new server

8- run zmfixperms

9- start zimbra services on new server
If yes, would calendar & contacts data be migrated along?
I imagine it would not be as easy as migrating from different OS version (e.g.: RHEL 5 to RHEL 6)

This is because only 32 bit zimbra was provided.
So what would need to be done to make this happens?

VM provider only provides 32-bit OS & unfortunately I was tasked to make this happen no matter how absurd it may sound.

If you're intent on doing this I'd suggest you look at ZeXtras.

It seems (as I was just updated) this would be multidomain Zimbra (hosted) on provider's site.

I would suggest the same thing as Bill suggested : Stay on 64 bit. Whatever it is single domain or multi-domain; stay on 64-bit.ZCS 7 is available for both 32-bit and 64 bit but ZCS 8 is not.It only supports 64 bit.So you again have to migrate to 64 bit when you upgrade.
