But having Zertos vRAs running on the ESXi-hosts, seems to prevent the hosts from being able […]

      I’ve read a bit in the documentation about test networking, but I wanted to ask the community what they have configured for themselves when it comes to a test network. We’re an infoblox shop, with two DCs testing failover in our VCenters that do not utilize nsx or any kind of spread network.  So if […]
