    • How to introduce new target ESXi hosts

      I’m running Zerto v3.5-U7 with one protected site and one recovery site, with a ZVM server in each site. I am doing an ESXi server refresh in the recovery site because my existing ESXi hosts are getting old and need replacing. I’m not sure what the exact terminology I should be using for my question […]

    • Zerto evaluation

      Hi All I’m evaluating Zerto for a customer Business Continuity project. The solution involves one vcenter with no BC hosts (to protect only against a storage outages). I read that VRA use network and a local Journal sistem for a asyncronous replica , but what about using same hosts for replications? Does VRA uses directly […]

    • VPGs still initializing

      I wish there is a column the tells you how much time left before a new VPG finishes its “Initializing” state. Create new VPG, after initial flurry of WAN data transfer, the VPG is still showing “Initializing” but WAN activity has stopped. After leaving it overnight, I still see VPG protection status as “Initializing” Is […]

    • Language Setting vCenter, ZVM Windows Server

    • Protect the ZVM?

      Hello all, I am off soon to my first Zerto installation (nothing special, just a couple of SQL Servers), so probably this can be a silly question. I am trying to gather as much info as I can, but one thing is not clear for me about if it is necessary to protect the ZVM […]

    • Cloning VMs

      Just in case anyone is not aware, it’s possible to clone a crash consistent VM at the remote site from the data that Zerto has already copied over. Do a test failover, wait until it has completed booting up. Take a volume level snapshot on the storage device. Stop the failover test. Mount the volume snapshot. […]

    • Can Zerto protect vCenter Appliances?

      Has anyone tried putting vCenter Appliances into a VPG for replication and potential recovery? Would this work and is it supported? Primary idea is to have a vCenter appliance for Horizon View (which would not be a paired ZVR vCenter instance) protected for recovery if needed.

    • Could I use Veeam replicated VMs to Preseed ZVR?

      Yes you can. We pre-seed from disks, not VMs. Therefore, what you need to do is: First deploy the Veeam replicated VMs which means failover/restore in Veeam (it wasn’t clear from the question whether the “Veeam replicated VMs” are already VMs or if they are just in the Veeam backup repository) After you have actual […]

    • Long Distance vMotion

      We get some questions about long distance VMotion. Some things to consider: 1.       Long distance vMotion sends the entire data set in one go, you cannot pre-seed. Zerto allows replication with just the changes sent. 2.       Long distance vMotion will flood a link with all the data being sent which means its limited to moving VMs one […]
