    • keeping the UUID

      I have a VM that in part uses the UUID for licensing.  I have selected to maintain the UUID in Zerto and have uuid.action = “keep” in the vmx file.  Each time i have done a test failover or migration it has change.  Am I missing something?   Thanks, Patrick

    • 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 […]

    • change VRA network switch

      Dear support, is it possible to change the virtual switch for a VRA? In vCenter, you should not change VRAs, but over Zerto management console it´s only possible to set the virtual switch which should be uses for VRA during installation of the VRA. Once the VRA is setup and you want to edit it, […]

    • vSphere – independent persistent disk

      Does Zerto replication/failover keep track of disk type. We have migrated few VMs with independent persistent disk and it converted to dependent. Also, noticed that disk order was changed in some VMs after failover.

    • vSphere Storage Overrides for VRA vmdk’s

      We regularly see storage overrides created for our VRA’s in our vsphere datastore clusters. They’re non-disruptive, and every so often we just go through and delete them. This is completely different from the VM overrides and VM/Host groups and rules that govern the VRA’s being powered on and off with the host, and which prevent […]

      When I grow the VMDK on a protected virtual machine, will the VPG automatically adjust, or do I need to delete and recreate it?
