    • VRA VM overrides – auto power on?

      We are upgrading most of our infra from vSphere 6.0x to 6.5u1. One of the inconsistencies is whether VRA’s will automatically power on after the host comes back online.  We are on Zerto 5.5u2p1. Most of our clusters all have VM Overrides set for each VRA to Disable both DRS automation and HA restart priority […]

    • Z-VRA’s not powering down for host maintenance

      When trying to remediate my ESXi hosts using Lifecycle Manager, the VRA’s are not powering down to allow the hosts to go into maintenance mode.  If I manually place the host into maintenance mode, they power off.  Anyone know a fix? vCenter – 7.0.3 Zerto – 9.0. U4

    • DRS moving VMs to host before VRA is online

      When we perform host maintenance, protected VMs are being moved to the hosts via DRS before the VRA is fully online.  This is causing up to 2 hour delta syncs to happen before we can move on to the next host. Is there a way to prevent VMs from moving until the VRA is ready?

Can someone help me understand the different under hood on the recovery site when we run a  failover test […]

    • VRA still exist after uninstalling

      I uninstalled multiple VRAs using the uninstall option in the Zerto management webpage.  The uninstall progressed without any errors and the results were “uninstallation completed successfully”.  I then checked the ESX host and all of the VRAs are still installed any running.  Before performing the uninstall there were no VPGs or VMs listed.  What is […]
