    Hello

    I have a question about Zerto specification.

    Is it possible to use vsphere replication in the following order?
    I know that it is unable to protect VMs that using vsphere replication at the same time with Zerto.

    1. Protect a VM with a VPG of Zerto.
    2. Finalize initial sync of the Zerto.
    3 Pause the VPG.
    4. And configure vsphere replication to the VM.  <- Is this possible?

    Hi ,

    ive never tested this before but i would assume that it is not supported so could potentially run into some issue

    what would be the use case for replicating the VM with 2 different tools ?

    The customer are using vSphere replication on production environment. They demand a continious replication until change-over from vSphere replication to Zerto.

    Hi

    if vmdk’s exist on the replicated site you could always use those to pre-seed zerto with this would minimize the time taken to swap between technologies

    but as far as i am aware it is not possible to use both at the same time
