How do we failover test without affecting DNS?

  • How do we do a failover test, and how do we make sure there are no DNS conflicts?

    Information on performing a failover test in Zerto 7.0 are available in the below two links.

    You should have no problem with DNS on your Failover Test VM, so long as you are using a separate network for the “Failover Test Network” field in the Recovery page of Edit VPG. Please see page 62 of the Zerto Administration Guide –
    “Failover Test Network: The network to use when testing the failover of virtual machines in the recovery site. Zerto recommends using a fenced-out network so as not to impact the production network at this site”
