Your description was a little bit fast and weird. You seem to be in a hurry - which is always bad for IT.

So you created a new domain. Did you start this domain? Did the whole system feel the new domain? Hereafter I would start to create a post office for the new domain.

If you delete a domain, then a MTA for this domain should be up and running. So it will report back to the primary, that it has been deleted.

But let's start with the beginning. If your GW server is out of disk space and the server is in a weird condition, then create a new server and move the existing GW environment to the new server. That is a lot easier, smarter and avoids activities to move users from A to B.

1. I created a new SLES server

2. I installed GroupWise

3, With the GW install utility I created a new secondary domain in a fine running system

4 . I saw the new secondary in the gw admin utility on the primary server

5. I checked the link  configuration looked good

6. I tried to add a PO with the GW install utility on the new server

but that fails two times, but as I sae later the PO directory structure was created

7. No the old server is not in a weired condition, it has about 8 GB free of 150GB and runs fine

but for some reason it was installed with a separate /boot partion of only some MB and the lastest zypper patch complains not enough space on /boot

so as we had not more disk space and the problem with /boot I decided to install a new 200GB server.

the server are VMs. unfortuatly I didn't do a snapshot before adding the domain as that was never am issue in all the 35 years I work with groupwsie

Problem is now the new domain is not running can not siart the MTA, but I have to get it out if the system

OK moveing the system but I had no problem moving users als the time, I you do regulary automatic checks, not only the deaults, the the databases remain clean, in this case ther are only 4 users but with long history of data

I step in at 6. You have connected to the new domain and then you have started to create a new post office, right?

To start new GW pieces you need the right DC files. Do you see a wphost.dc and a gwpo.dc in your (new) domain and your post office directory?

Use the command „zypper purge-kernels“ to remove old kernels

after this Look if there are zipped files as *.gz and remove it manually, then remove all Older Kernel files on /boot

Then you must have more Place on /boot and the Installation May be successfull

This May be also the reason to not be able to update to sles15sp6

but First you Groupwise must works correctly? Do you have the latent Build of gw24.2?

Only for your Information, the latent gw Version is gw24.4, i have Build 146818, no trouble for the moment
