    • Thoughts on moving Zerto to all appliance based?

      As I wait in my silo based organization for Windows VM’s to be deployed so I can install Zerto mgt VM’s, I think maybe it would be a good thing to either move to an appliance based OVA/OVF for Zerto. This gives Zerto more control over configuration and less onus on the customer to deploy […]

    • Protecting Zerto itself

      I’ve asked this question to the forum and my internal Zerto contacts on several occasions. As we know Zerto does a great job of protecting our virtual infrastructures. However per Zerto best practices we are not supposed to perform backups of ZVM’s nor can we protect ZVM’s in a VPG. I usually hear things like […]

    • vCenter migration including new AD domain

      Greetings, We are preparing for upgrading to vspshere 6.5.x. Part of this requires us to upgrade to Zerto 5.5 prior to the VMware upgrade. We have 5 vcenters that are connected together in Zerto including a ZCM that are all on 5.0u1. We will only be upgrading 3 of the 5 vcenters (and hosts) to […]

    • Zerto not supported on UCS using FCoE?

      This is a troubling statement in the 5.5u2 release notes under known issues page 21. We have well over 100 UCS ESXi hosts using FCoE and Zerto ZVM’s and VRA’s all use storage that is connected via FCoE (the only way you can connect to FC storage on UCS blades)..   Virtual Replication Appliance (VRA) […]

    • change protected site VRA?

      Hello, Is there any capability to move VM/VPG’s on protected site VRA’s like you can at the recovery site? Zerto does not do a good job of balancing VRA workloads and I would like to balance them out but cannot figure out a way in the UI.   Thanks

    • Clean out ZeRTO Volumes directory?

      Hello, WE’ve been using Zerto for the last 6 months to assist with a data center migration. We’ve been using specific LUN’s for the purpose of temporarily housing VM data along with Zerto journal data. After successful migration we storage vmotion the VM’s to their final LUN’s and in many cases reverse protect to our […]

    • When/why to move to external SQL database?

      Hello, We have a fairly large VMware infra with 5 vcenters and 5 ZVM’s all linked together running v5 update 1 all running embedded db’s.  Our vCenters (5.5 and 6.0) manage 50 to 100 ESXi hosts and 1000 to 2000 VM’s. We currently have 300 VM’s protected by Zerto moving up to 500 in the […]

    • Feature Request – Better VM to ESXi distribution

      We create VPG’s by pointing them at Resource Pools rather than individual hosts. I’m finding that Zerto does not spread VM’s across hosts within a cluster when doing this. I setup one today that pointed 3 of 4 large busy VM’s at a single host rather than spreading across the cluster. Replication traffic is pounding […]

    • Unable to edit VRA VM resources – ZVM 5.0u1

      I seem to have Zerto support stumped so I’m reaching out. We have a large VMware infrastructure with 5 vCenters running a mix of 5.5 and 6.0. We have about 150 VRA’s deployed across these vCenters with a ZVM assigned to each vCenter per requirement. All VRA’s are deployed with standard 1vCPU/3GRAM. We want to […]

    • Managing Alerts Multi Peer sites

      Hello, I’m finishing up a Zerto 5u1 install. We have 3 vCenters at our protected site and 2 at our recovery site. I have alerting setup to send to my email address but will need to expand that to a larger group. I’m finding that I get a lot of duplicate alerts sent from various […]

    • VRA Replication traffic using ESXi Mgt Int

      Greetings, We recently purchased Zerto licensing to support a data center migration project and eventually building a new DR. In planning our Zerto install we have a particularly sensitive and network constrained DMZ cluster (that is part of a vCenter 5.5 with other ESXi 5.5 clusters). The DMZ cluster has guest networking and ESXi management networking as […]

    • automated VRA deployment; DRS rules

      Greetings, I was directed to the “automating Zerto with powershell and REST API” document to assist with my deployment. Specifically page 68 deploying VRA’s. My ZVM’s are not setup yet so I can’t test the script. If anybody has tried this script, do you know what if anything it sets for the VRA hostname? All […]
