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.
If it's possible, rename your production /opt/zimbra/ directory.
mv /opt/zimbra/ mv /opt/zimbraSAVE/
Now, run the installer as the root user using the software option.
./install.sh -s
*OR*
./install.sh --software
During the ZCS-88 Software Reinstall
Observe at the end of the software install, you will see the following
Running Post Installation Configuration:
Software Installation complete!
Operations logged to /tmp/install.log.SviTipi8
Now observe, you have two zimbra directories
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 4096 Aug 24 14:29 zimbra
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 4096 Aug 17 13:20 zimbraSAVE
Since the software install had created the /opt/zimbra/ directory, lets move it out of the way
mv /opt/zimbra/ /opt/zimbraSOFTWARE_INSTALL/
Now, lets put our production directory back into place
mv /opt/zimbraSAVE/ /opt/zimbra/
