An administrator may wish to replicate VMs within the same VCenter server. Since only one ZVM can monitor and work with a VCenter server, creating a second ZVM under the same VCenter server is not possible. This means the administrator will need to enable Self-Replication.

To enable replication to the same vCenter Server, follow the below steps:

1. In the Zerto User Interface, click the Settings button (three horizontal bars in the top right corner of the header).


2. Select 'Site Settings'.


3. The Site Settings dialog is displayed with the default tab, Site Information, open.


3. Click the 'Policies' tab.


4.Select the checkbox 'Enable Replication to Self'.


5.Click Save.

At this point, you should be able to Create a VPG for Self-Replication.
