'''Video summary:''' KT session on NewsNation's migration from Zimbra open-source to Zimbra Network Edition (Business Support Plan, Business-tier COS). Covers the standard BSP setup pattern (create the correct Class of Service and set it as domain default before license activation, so new accounts don't default to the pricier Professional tier), password migration via a zmprov batch script generated from the old server's password list, and mail data migration via multiple parallel imapsync batches for their ~645 users. The bulk of this session focuses on their specific two-node DRBD storage cluster: one node ("n1") was rebuilt on Rocky Linux 8 with only the Zimbra software packages installed (not a full Zimbra init) while the live node ("n2") stayed up, DRBD was reconfigured to keep the underlying disk in sync between both nodes so either can mount and take over as primary if the other fails, then the roles were swapped and the second node rebuilt the same way. Also covers installing Zert, Zimbra's own license-usage monitoring tool (via an LDAP connection back to the mail server), and the shared daily report spreadsheet that shift engineers use to track every BSP client's license usage against what they've actually purchased across all client organizations.
