    • VMware permissions not replicated

      We are protecting a VM that has some explicit VMware permissions applied to it tha allow the administrators of the VM access to it.  These permissions are not being replicated to the recovery site. When we test the failover, the owner of the VM no longer has access though vSphere. Has anyone else seen this […]

    • Protection of turned-off machines

      Hello, is it really necessary for the VM to be running when adding it to a VPG? There are scenarios where you have virtual machine turned off, but want to protect it with Zerto (e. g. root certification authority, VM’s that are baselines for templates etc.). And it seems to me like unnecessary requirement to start this […]

    • Get VRA version and subversion from API

      I’m looking to use a script to upgrade my VRAs from 4.5u1 to 4.5u3.  I’ve updated the ZVMs, and through the web GUI I can see which VRAs are “Outdated.”  Is there a way to find this via the REST API?  If I issue a /v1/vras, the vraversion parameter states 4.5 and not a subversion. […]

    • per VPG limits?

      Is there a limit to the number of VMs, or guest hard drive qty/size, in a VPG?  If there’s not a technical limit, is there a best practice?  In our environment, we’re hosting an application that has 3 SQL servers and about 50 IIS servers, and I was going to put them all in one […]
