      I am being told some of our third party engineers that all of our Virtual Machines are running slower than normal and the possible cause is due to the fact that I just recently installed Zerto. I am not able to replicate their tests and everything looks good on my end. Is it possible for […]

    • 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 […]
