    • Is it recommended to protect the vCenter Server?

      I have been using Zerto Replication in VMWare environment since January of this year. Recently I had an issue that required a support call. during this call I had asked if I was supposed to be replicating the ZVA and was told no which is understandable. My question today is should I be replicating the […]

    • Cannot complete sync of powered off VM's

      Hello, I am fairly new to Zerto, and am wondering how come my entire VPG seems to be in an error state because it is stuck initializing powered off VM’s.  Is there a way around this?  I still want these VM’s to be synced and protected. Thank you. Brandon

    • ZVM protection without recovery site

      When there are sites or hosts dedicated seperately for production and recovery there is no problem with keeping the ZVM safe, it resides on recovery site/host and in case of production failure it works as it always did. But what when we have ZVM in an environment where there are only two hosts and two […]

    • Changing my MTU?

      Yesterday I upgraded from 5.0 U2 to 5.5.  Everything went fine to the best of my knowledge.  When I got into the office today I logged in to the console and had a bunch of Alerts, which then cleared themselves a few seconds later.  I am sitting here watching the console and it seems like […]

    • Report on Unprotected VMs in the environment

      I need to periodically review the VMs in our environment to determine that all the necessary VMs are being replicated/protected. Other than manually comparing a list of VMs in both the Zerto VPGs and the vCenter, how can one determine that there may be VMs that should be put under protection? It would be good […]

    • When/why to move to external SQL database?

      Hello, We have a fairly large VMware infra with 5 vcenters and 5 ZVM’s all linked together running v5 update 1 all running embedded db’s.  Our vCenters (5.5 and 6.0) manage 50 to 100 ESXi hosts and 1000 to 2000 VM’s. We currently have 300 VM’s protected by Zerto moving up to 500 in the […]

    • Bandwidth throttle clarification

      Looking for clarification on the bandwidth throttle setting.  Is it an aggregate throttle between all recovery sites the protected site is sending?  Or would it be applied to each peering? E.g. 50 Mbps throttle – 25 from Site A to Site B and 25 from Site A to Site C? or 50 Mbps from Site […]

    • Backup Repository

      I have created a new repository so I can run some test backups. The repository is a network share running on a Windows 2012 R2 server. I have validated it, however, its star does not go green and when I try to select it in a VPG it is not listed.

    • Database showing incorrect data

      I am trying to pull information from the database specifically around bandwidth.  We recently moved our DB external, and increased sampling to once per hour.  Because of this, I cannot pull resource reports for more than about a week.  While running a query directly from SQL, getting average bandwidth and max bandwidth, grouped by SourceSite […]

    • Failover Clarification

      Since approval to try this in our environment is not worth asking for … What happens in this scenario?   Site1 legitimately goes down. Site1 is unusable for several days, but hardware is all in tact. Site2 brings up servers using Failover, sets to reverse protect, and commits the action.   Once Site1 becomes usable […]

    • JBOSS Cluster Supported

      I know most database-oriented clustering schemes with multiple VMs sharing common storage are incompatible with Zerto, but what about JBOSS clusters, where the separate JBOSS instances can be automatically clustered to improve load performance, but persistent storage is not involved? For reference, here’s the relevant JBOSS documentation: https://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/jboss4guide/r4/html/cluster.chapt.html Thanks!
