    • Migrate Windows vCenter v5.5 to v6.5 vCSA

      I have a client replicating to us already however we are separating some of their business to replicate to another ZVM in our other office.

    • VPG's go offline during Host maintenance

      Hi, i’m hoping this is a basic issue! When we created our VPG’s we selected the entire cluster for recovery host hoping that during ESX host maintenance the VPG would use another host in the cluster for replication and recovery. Today I placed a host in maintenance mode and all VPG’s associated with that host […]

      I am creating new VPG’s in Zerto (Version 6.0 Patch 2) and would like to know some best practices in doing so.  More specifically in regards to replication and storage.  Do you typically have a dedicated Datastore for the recovered VM/volumes?  What is the typical journal history settings and do you use the advanced journal […]

      Hi, I know that if a VPG contains multiple VMs, you can set a startup order. I have 11 VPGs each containing a single VM. Can I failover these VPGs in a particular order?
