    • Move VPG via API

      Is there a method using the REST API for moving a VPG to another site or is this considered a failover? Thank you, Dustin Perkins Hunting Energy Services

    • Unable to get VM nic settings (Powershell)

      I’m trying to pull a copy of a vm’s nic settings by using the NICs API but I’m getting nothing back. I’ve verified a hundred times that the VPGSettings ID and the VM ID are valid. I’m able to pull VPG settings and VM settings without issue. My environment is replicated to a VCD. I’m […]

    • Powershell Cmdlet to Create New VPG

      I don’t see such a cmdlet referenced in the PowerShell Cmdlets Guide. Is it possible to automate the creation of new VPG’s? If not now, are there plans for a future release?

    • Check if a VM is in a VPG

      Hi all. I’d like to check for the name of a server in Zerto and see if it’s a member of a VPG, using either the PS cmdlets or API. I see ways to list all VPGs and then list all the servers in those VPGs, which I could then check the server name against. […]

    • "Setting Validation Failed" in Invoke-RestMethod

      I am using a script to pull the settings of all VM NIC settings, based off the script found here starting on page 16: https://www.zerto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Automating-Zerto-Virtual-Replication-with-PowerShell-and-REST-APIs.pdf It mostly works, however I found it was skipping over some VPGs. Digging into it, I found that the problem was occuring here (near the top of page 18): <h6>########################################## […]

    • Post VPG FailoverTest cleanup via API

      I’m building some tools into my company’s intranet web app that will allow running VPG failovers and tests of failovers by making calls to the API behind the scenes.  It’s clear that I would call the VPG test endpoint to start a test: Test VPG https://zvm_ip:port/v1/vpgs/{protectionGroupIdentifier}/failoverTest But it’s not entirely clear what to call when […]

    • New VPG with REST API from vCloud Director site

      Official document – Zerto Virtual Replication RESTful APIs Version 5.0 U3, states on page 12 that vpgSettings API does not support vCloud Director, preseeding, setting backup, AWS, etc POST method to “https://zvm_ip:port/v1/vpgs” should “Create a VPG”, but again the VM is random one and not the one in vDC vApp. Can anyone suggest if I […]

    • Get VPGs by ZORG

      Developer using the Zerto API for the first time.   I’d really like to use the REST API to get a list of VPGs by ZORG identifier.  ZORG ZPI seems limited.  Is there a way to to this other than getting all of the VPGs and then doing the filtering myself after the fact?

    • Export-Settings

      Hi, I’m trying to export all settings from a Zerto 5.0 U1 instalation using the export-settings cmdlet, but receive the following error: Export-Settings : System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://x.x.x.x:9669/ZvmService/SiteController. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to […]

    • Export-Settings to local host

      I was wondering if I can have Export-Settings run against 127.0.0.1 9080 or would localhost 9080 work, or does it HAVE to be executed remotely?   For example ; Export-Settings 127.0.0.1 9080 username password > C:\Destination
