Restore account dns zone merge entries

July 23, 2015 14:15

Hello :) Could you elaborate on the type of entries that are commented out? For instance, are they specific type of records? Could you post an example of a zone that does not get transferred over (without using real domain names) in CODE tags? Thank you.

Hey, well lets say I transfer account to another server or, import a cpmove backup to another server. The dns zone will then include this:

; domain.com.    86400    IN    SOA    ns0.domain.com.    my.email.xxx.    ( ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT
;                         2015071113 ;Serial Number ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT
;                         43200 ;refresh ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT
;                         3600 ;retry ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT
;                         604800 ;expire ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT
;                         10800 ;minimum ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT
;     ) ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT


; ftp 3600 IN A x.x.x.x ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on 20150719180633 GMT

This never happened before until it started to do it recently. I understand this can be handy if you somehow need to know which IP it used to be on, but this makes the zone file kind of messy and I would personally like to disable this.

Hello :) This is by design per the following case found in the 11.50 change log: Fixed case 148877: Perform DNS record merge on transfer/restore. The purpose of this is to easily identify any conflicts after the transfer. It's not currently possible to disable this functionality. Thank you.

But is it possible to clean this up without manually doing so?

You will need to manually change or remove those entries from the zone, but note the existence of those entries should not cause any problems. Thank you.

@radeonpower I found a way to remove the nonsense!! First back up your named folder:
cd /var;tar czf named.tgz named
Then run this to clean up the junk
perl -i.bak -ne 'next if (/^; .+ ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on/); print;' /var/named/*.db
You can also adjust the text to remove "cPanel restore auto-merge" by changing it accordingly.
perl -i.bak -ne 'next if (/^; .+ ; Previous value removed by cPanel restore auto-merge on/); print;' /var/named/*.db
Can't take the credit for this though, got the info from here 512kbps.com/2015/08/07/previous-value-removed-by-cpanel-transfer-auto-merge/ ;)

You could modify the bash command to reflect the line you want to remove, however those are standard values in any DNS zone created through cPanel, and are useful for troubleshooting. Could you elaborate on why you would like to remove them? Thank you.
