    • Forums can be great…

      for both customers and suppliers. As a guy whose been doing the VMware thing since 2004 I feel that one of the most valuable sources of information is VMware’s community forums. I can often find answers there must faster than if I put in a support ticket. I think suppliers (in this case Zerto employees) […]

    • VRA VM overrides – auto power on?

      We are upgrading most of our infra from vSphere 6.0x to 6.5u1. One of the inconsistencies is whether VRA’s will automatically power on after the host comes back online.  We are on Zerto 5.5u2p1. Most of our clusters all have VM Overrides set for each VRA to Disable both DRS automation and HA restart priority […]

    • Invalid Zerto Certs

      As part of my ZVM installations of 5u1 SCOM is alerting on invalid Zerto Certificates due to a partialchain. I’ve installed our own trusted certs per Zerto procedures that allow for secure web interface access to the Zerto console. I don’t know why the Zerto install would be installing an invalid cert? Body of SCOM […]

    • Export of VM/VPG data?

      Hi, We’re embarking on an effort to point most of our VPG’s to a different vcenter/cluster/storage/network. With our Standard licensing it appears we have to rebuild all the VPG’s (close to 200 VPG’s).  I’d like to get a clean export of VM to VPG data along with configuration info such as failover network. Worst case an export […]

    • Difficulty seeding VPG on high perf infra and L2

      I’ve dealt with seeding VPG’s to remote sites before but am finding issues with high change rate VM’s replicating from on vCenter to the other in same data center. VRA’s on on the same L2 network. Temp disk is enabled for tempdb. VRA’s are configured for 2vCPU/12GRAM. This is All flash vmax/pmax storage on UCS […]

    • windows mount points?

      Hello, I haven’t tested this but was curious if anyone else knows how Windows mount points are handled in replication to a recovery site. We typically build SQL servers using a small root mount point drive with VMDK mount points “hanging” off the root mount point for data/logs/tempdb. Since they are VMDK’s and not RDM’s […]

    • Please explain DR Usage/Capacity Numbers

      Hello, We are long time Zerto customers. I was just going through upgrading from 6.0 to 6.5 and QA’ing the upgrade across 7 ZVM’s and found what I’ve seen before but never understood the numbers. On our main PROTECTED site ZVM under the Setup > Datastores tab I see our long list of LUN’s with […]

    • Zver 6.0u4 and vCenter 6.7u2

      Hello, I think we have to stay lock step with our DRaaS vendor for Zerto versions and 6.0U4 is the latest version we can move to for at least this year. That version is supposedly compatible with 6.7u1. Is there any chance we could do the supported_versions.txt file update to make it “compatible”. I’ve done […]

    • VPG Temp disk setting and datastore allocation?

      We have a VM with over 10T of allocated storage. We do not need the data on two of the large disks in DR. Even with setting the disks to THIN and TEMP I cannot save the VPG because it wants a datastore over 10T in size. Why would it not accept thin provisioning and […]

    • Limit to number of Shadow VRA's (VRAH)?

      Hello, We frequently have shadow VRA’s on hosts in our recovery site clusters. Anybody know if there is a limit to the number of Shadow VRA’s that Zerto will spawn? We have some clusters with larger hosts and am wondering if there is a limit to the number of VRAH’s that Zerto will create?

    • Move my ZCM to new vCenter?

      Hello, I would like to move my Zerto Cloud Manager to a new vCenter. It will keep the same host name but get a different IP address. Any reason I cannot do this with a Zerto Move? I’m only use it internally for my 5 connected vCenters (no connection to any off prem clouds). Thank […]
