Hi, I have upgraded my vcenter at DR site and it has a different name now. I will be doing the same at my primary site. Will this affect Zerto replication?

Hi there, this is Matt from Zerto.

If the only thing that has changed is the name of the server, you shouldn’t run into any trouble. If you set up the vCenter upgrade on a new server, you will need to follow one of the two options below.

-If you are using the same vCenter database in your new server, we would advise you create a new ZVM and migrate your settings and VPGs over using the following documentation.

-If you will be creating a new vCenter database, that will be a slightly longer process detailed below.

When upgrading vCenter, please make sure your new version is compatible with your Zerto instance, or you may break your replication.

Hope this helps!
