    • VRA still exist after uninstalling

      I uninstalled multiple VRAs using the uninstall option in the Zerto management webpage.  The uninstall progressed without any errors and the results were “uninstallation completed successfully”.  I then checked the ESX host and all of the VRAs are still installed any running.  Before performing the uninstall there were no VPGs or VMs listed.  What is […]

    • Configuring alerts in Zerto

      Is there a way, to create/send alerts when certain Datastores/VPGs/Journals are reaching their maximum? We do get alerts now when they are just about completely full. Then we have to hurry up and extend the datatstores for those VPGs/Journals. Can I set up an alert in Zerto or vSphere to send an alert when say, […]

    • Post Recovery Scripts no longer run in 9.5u3

      Several of our VPGs have scripts that run after the systems in them have been powered on in the recovery site.  These scripts do various things such as connect to Vcenter to automate reboots, connect to the Windows instance to run WMI calls to check services, etc.  For auditing and troubleshooting purposes, I have enabled […]

    • Zerto Orchestrator feedback

      I see that Zerto Orchestrator is a tool to help with testing. It was last updated in 2018. Is anyone using it? Do you get value from it? Why hasn’t it been upgraded? Is support expected to continue, or will it stop being supported in the near future? Is Zerto 9.5u3 still compatible with Orchestrator? […]

    • how to setup zerto test netwks with vLANs

      Hi group, I would like to find feedback on how others have setup zerto sandbox networks for testing with vlans. I found this on the web – https://www.jpaul.me/2016/02/creating-a-zerto-failover-test-network. Have you used this approach, or something different? Does anyone have lessons learned / suggestions on how they setup their failover network? Thanks!
