C Recovering ZPLS from Disaster
In case the ZPLS becomes unresponsive due to reasons like a faulty SSD, you can restore it using the
provided USB dongle. The USB dongle is bootable and contains VMWare 7.0 running on a Linux OS,
enabling you to perform the necessary recovery procedures.
To perform a recovery from disaster:
1. Download the virtual OVA file from here. You need this file to build the ZPLS virtual server
after you complete the recovery process.
2. (Optional) If you don't have the supplied USB dongle (for whatever reason), follow these
steps to create a bootable USB, using the third-party, USB Image Tool program as an example.
Pay attention that USB dongle has at least a 32 GB capacity.
a. Download the VMware ESXi image file (.img) by clicking here, and save it on a folder on
your PC.
b. Open a USB burn application, for example, USB Image Tool:
c. Plug the USB dongle into the USB port on your PC where you saved your downloaded
ESXi image file.
