    • 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 […]

    • Obtaining timelines of entering/leaving protection

      Second time lucky after the forum message popup disappeared with my about-to-be-sent post 🙁 I have taken over an embryonic Java project whose purpose is to obtain information about when VMs enter and leave protection. We need a timeline of VM activities from a protection point of view. I am already well-versed in obtaining event […]

    • Zerto ZVM Monitoring

      Hello together, we are using multiple Zerto instances for different vCenter and vCloud services. To monitor it all we wrote a Prometheus exporter for Zerto. There you can define rules for alerting or view performance date in grafana. Take a look at https://github.com/claranet/zerto-exporter or as docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/claranet/zerto-exporter/ Best regards, Martin

    • Newbie Questions

      Just running a Zerto PoC with 5.5 Q1. I cannot see any “run book” function – an ability to co-ordinate a boot/failover order of multiple VPGs. Surely Zerto should have this functionality?? Do I really need to manually bring up VPGs with appropriate delays in between? That would be a remarkable feature gap if the […]

    • vSAN policy

      Hi folks, I am not seeing this part in the manuals, but perhaps you can help me out: I am looking into using Zerto to protect VMs in a vSAN cluster (vSAN 6.6.1 if it matters) Target for the replication will also be a vSAN cluster. How and where can I specify the SPBM/storage policy […]

    • VRA install fails vib SshKeyAppendVib installation

      Trying to install a VRA on a host running in a vSAN-enabled cluster. Getting the below error. It’s a 3-node cluster. One of the other hosts failed with same error, but through trial and error I was able to deploy the VRA by simply choosing a local datastore (not vSAN datastore) and then svmotioning afterward. […]

    • Application consistent (VSS) restore

      Hello, For application consistent snapshots using VSS, specifically for MS SQL Server, is it possible to do a restore and place the SQL databases into a loading state (norecovery or standby)?  The goal would be to apply SQL transaction logs to roll the database(s) forward to a specific point-in-time. Thanks, Mike

    • UDP ports

      We are seeing UDP traffic over ports in the 44,400 range between Zerto VRAs.   Is anyone else seeing the same? I can find no mention of this in the documentation.

    • Unable to run PS script

      Hello. I’m fairly new into powershell scripting so I hope I got everything right. Currently testing on Zerto 5.0 U1. Colleges asked me if Zerto has some option that would enable us to change resources on replicated machines when testing or doing failover. After some reading I found nothing and started creating a script that […]

    • 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 […]
