    • Zerto connectivity

      Hello, In our environments running 6.x we have observed the ZVM deploying Z-VRAH appliances from time to time after the initial deployment of the Z-VRA appliances so closing these ports will not impact the automated deployments of these Z-VRAH appliances ?

    • Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct Compatibility

      Working on upgrading customer ZVM/Zerto environment to 6.5U4. Upon talking to customer, they were under the impression that Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct was incompatible with Zerto. As far as I can tell by the compatibility matrix, no reference of Storage Spaces Direct or S2D is referenced, so I’d assume it’s compatible?

    • Host Machine Rename Questions/Precautions

      To Support, We are planning to rename the host machine for where Zerto is installed. Are there any precautions or steps to be aware of before the system name change, or is it as simple as changing the machine hostname locally and setting a new target.

    • Licensing Question / Multiple Environments On Same

      We would like to know if it is a supportable configuration to split our Zerto environment in half but have all of the VPGs running on the same hardware (ESXi 6.7/VNX). Is it possible to run multiple VRMs in the same environment? The VPGs and VMs would be separate and managed exclusively by one of […]

    • Frequent VPG Bitmap Syncing

      Recently a couple of my VPGs are frequently showing a state of bitmap syncing and it takes several hours to recover.  The reason given (when I click on the ?) is Protected VRA congestion.  I don’t believe it is being caused by WAN congestion as the WAN traffic graphs show bandwidth utilization well below the […]

    • About initial synchronization processing time

      I want to measure the throughput during initial synchronization. Does the actual capacity of the target machine affect the initial synchronization processing time? Or does the reserved capacity of the target machine affect the processing time of the initial synchronization? UseWanCompression is set to false.
