    • Powershell scripts after Linux ZVM upgrade

      We recently upgraded from the windows based ZVM over to version 10.0 Update 2 which is linux based.  The upgrade itself went relatively well but we cant seem to get our post-recovery scripts to work.  These scripts were intended to simply update DNS records on our Windows based DNS servers.  Knowing these scripts must be […]

      I am newer to this sort of work. At the moment, we’re manually doing failover tests and gathering info for reports. I’d like to automate this.

    • Retrieving ‘Protected Network’ for a NIC in a VPG

    • Zerto Powershell and individual VMs

      I have a number of vms spread across several vpgs that I’m trying to script a failover test for.  The problem I’m running into is that I don’t want to target all of the vms in those vpgs, but I’m not seeing a way to run a failover test against vms specifically. Short of moving […]
