Steps
- Changing the hostname in the guest OS of the machine hosting the ZVM will not affect Zerto.
- If the DNS entry is changed, either manually or automatically, because the ZVM is on a domain, and the hostname must also be changed, there is no effect.
- If the ZVM machine is joining a domain, then the user account (default is local administrator) used for Zerto and the Zerto service must remain as a local administrator.
