Upgrade Zimbra 6 to zimbra 7 on EC2

Clone the instance

* Make a snapshot of the disks
* Launch and EBS instance with the same AMI type in 1c
* Create virtual disks from the snapshots created before in the same availability zone of the new instance
* Once is fully booted, stop the new instance
* Detach the root volume from the stopped instance
* Attach the root volume to /dev/sda1 and the other volume in my case to /dev/sdc
* Start the new instance again

Update my Split dns configuration (tinydns/dnscache)

* /etc/dnscache/env/IP
Update the file with the new internal IP.

Test the upgrade on the cloned instance.

I still run ./install.sh and the setup will find our current installation and update it.

* Connect to the new instance
* Check the uptime to be sure to be on the new instance
* cd zcs-7.0.1_GA_3105.DEBIAN5.20110304193033
* ./install.sh

ERROR: Installation can not proceeed.  Please fix your /etc/hosts file
to contain:

Where  is the ip address of the host,
is the FULLY QUALIFIED host name, and
is the (optional) hostname-only portion

So I’ve added the internal IP (not 127.0.1) to the host file for host myname.mydomain
