    • Updating to Version 10

      I currently have a 9.7 U3 environment, and I am starting to look into what it would take to update to 10.x in the future.  I have seen some conflicting information about the upgrade, specifically around versions.  I just watched a YouTube video that says that if I have a 9.7 U3 environment, then I […]

    • VRA in the DMZ

      Are there any best practices for putting VRA’s in the DMZ?  I figure that there are three options in our environment: Assign a public facing IP address to the VRA’s Putting the VRA’s on the same VLAN as the vCenter server Adding two NIC’s to each Host, and adding a Standard switch with the normal […]

    • Stuck Bitmap Sync after ESXi update

      Two weeks ago I upgraded Zerto to Version 9.0 Update 4 Build 090409252.  Last week we started patching our Hosts to VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 19898906.  After patching and a reboot the VRA reconnects, but all of the VM’s that move to the Host go to Bitmap Sync and stick at 0% with no movement.  We […]

    • VM Version question

      As we start to prepare for the Meltdown and Spectre remediation steps that need to be addressed I started to compile a list of virtual appliances that have a VM Version less than version 9 (there are vMotion issues once the patches start getting applied to the Hosts if your VM Version is below 9).  […]

    • Zerto Permissions

      Is there a list of permissions required for the Zerto Management server to work with vCenter.  During the install I gave it Administrator permissions, but I would hope that it could be trimmed back in some fashion.  For instance, I find it hard to believe that the Management Server needs to be able to create/delete […]

    • License Management Server

      There doesn’t seem to be much documentation available on the new Licensing Server.  I see it mentioned in the Release Notes, and there is a download for the appliance.  There is a mention that you can put it on a Windows server as well.  Do we have to introduce a new Windows server to the […]

    • Move question

      Friday afternoon we had an unplanned storage issue.  We have two different arrays in production.  The storage guy’s were working on array 1, when it panicked.  We had maybe 1/3 of our Zerto protected VM’s on this array, and they went offline.  We are a hospital, and we have some pretty important stuff that needs […]

    • Pause VPG?

      I have a dedicated cluster as a Zerto target at our DR site.  I need to shut down all of the Hosts at once, so that I can configure EVC mode.  Can I simply “pause” the VPG’s for 10 minutes, or is there a better way of doing this?

    • Storage vMotion the Z-VRA's?

      We are in the process of emptying out one of our array’s and I have some of my Z-VRA’s on it.  When I try to Storage vMotion the Z-VRA’s it tells me that they are managed by Zerto and that I should leave them alone.  Can I safely move them, or is there another option […]

    • Refresh Storage Information

      I updated my install a week or two ago to the latest version (6.5 U1 Patch 1).  Now in vCenter we constantly have tasks that Zerto is “Refreshing Storage Information”.  Is there a way to make this stop?  It’s a little noisy, and makes it difficult to take a quick look and track other activity […]

    • New vCenters and uninstall question.

      We are about to upgrade our VMware infrastructure, and have decided that we are not going to upgrade the vCenter appliances, but replace them with new ones.  From the documentation that I found this requires us to tear down our Zerto installation and then rebuild it after the new vCenters are up and everything has […]

    • VM's removed from inventory?

      Not really sure what happened.  I got an alert today that one of my VPG’s was paused because one or more VM’s were removed from inventory… but they weren’t.   Both VM’s from the VPG are in inventory, and up and running.  So I deleted the VPG and then tried to recreate it, but recreation […]

    • 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 […]
