Will Zerto work with vVols?

[Ian N]

Nobody is using vVols yet, but when people do start to use it (after 6 update 1?) will Zerto work with it?l

They are definitely in the near-future roadmap.

ZVR versions (3.5 U7 and 4.0) support vSphere 6.0, but do not support VVOLS.   VVOL support will be added later on in one of our product updates after we are satisfied with complete test cycles on supported VVOLS hardware.

I’m anticipating the use of vVols with production VMs in the near term and Zerto compatibility will be crucial for DR plans. I’m looking forward to seeing this in action!

I realize this is nitpicking, but just thought I’d share this related article by Eric Siebert:
vsphere-land.com/news/is-it-vvols-or-vvols.html
and I was able to confirm this capitalization, VVol / VVols, with my VMware contacts as well.

Great question and answer in this thread, and nice new site, Zerto!

What you’re saying is… it’s NOT Wols.
