    • ZVM OS Upgrade / Move to new Server OS

      I have a client that needs to move  their ZVM from Win2008R2 to win2016.  With 35 VPGs and around 150 VMs, the method documented in the KB article is quite cumbersome. Deleting all the VPGs and then recovering them on the new ZVM is sketchy at best, let alone it leaves the client unprotected until […]

    • Preseeded disks

      If I  delete a VPG and leave the preseeded disk at the recovery site and then after an export and import does it automatically see and associate the preseeded disk(s) and will only do a delta sync after the VPG is created?

    • Disk inaccessible error with DRS on

      While DRS is on, the machine changes places many times during the day. Sometimes I get the error xxx.vmdk cannot be synced because it is inaccessible. The problem is solving when I manually move the virtual machine to the other host. There is no IO error on the side of VMware.

    • LTR and anti virus

      I run LTR backups regularly. Recently a couple of the “.box” files were flagged by anti-virus and thus quarantined. This corrupts the LTR backup. I can exclude repository directories but need some kind of documentation stating anti-virus exclusion rules concerning LTR. Zerto? Anyone?

    • High Disk Latency on VMs when creating VPGs

      As the title says – has anyone seen this before? Have created a number of VPGs in the past but never seen High Disk Latency on the VMs. Current VPG is at 60% created and one VM has alarmed in VMWare with High Disk Latency, has been alarming since the VPG creation started.
