ZCS88-zxbackup-Disaster-Recovery
Scenario I - Single Server
You have been running ZCS-88 using the Next Generation Suite, and you have a dedicated disk for /opt/zimbra/, something like...
/dev/mapper/vg_zcs-lv_root
xxG xxxG xxG xx% /
tmpfs /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 /opt/zimbra/
But something has happened to the server node, effecting the operating system, which will require a reinstall of the operating system, and ZCS-88.
Reinstall the Operating System
When you reinstall the operating system, make sure the disk containing /opt/zimbra/ is not mounted yet.
Reinstall ZCS-88 with Next Generation Modules
When you are ready to reinstall ZCS-88, make sure the /opt/zimbra/ is now mounted.
Now, run the installer as the root user.
./install.sh
*OR*
./install.sh -l /path/to/the/license/ZCSLicense.xml
During the ZCS-88 Reinstall
You may see the following
The Zimbra Collaboration Server does not appear to be installed,
yet there appears to be a ZCS directory structure in /opt/zimbra.
Would you like to delete /opt/zimbra before installing? [N]
**Make sure to select N so /opt/zimbra/ is NOT removed**
During the reinstall, you will see this dialog prompt; but your Domain will be different.

**Go ahead and select Yes, and enter your domain**

Now you should be at the Main Menu, and will likely see the following; again your domain will be different
