    • vSphere Cluster Maintenance Mode Script

      I took an old rolling reboot script that Joe Keegan at http://infrastructureadventures.com/2011/12/28/powercli-script-for-vsphere-cluster-rolling-reboot/ posted a few years ago and modified it to add in the VRA functions and added the ability to scan and patch the hosts as well.

    • Protect the ZVM?

      Hello all, I am off soon to my first Zerto installation (nothing special, just a couple of SQL Servers), so probably this can be a silly question. I am trying to gather as much info as I can, but one thing is not clear for me about if it is necessary to protect the ZVM […]
