    • Install VMTools on Hyper-V guest

      Hello all, Does Zerto have a preferred way of installing VMTools on a Hyper-V guest before a Hyper-V -> VMware failover?  I was able to successfully create an MSI transform and skip the check in the InstallUISequence step in addition to manually adding some missing driver files but I can’t imagine that Zerto expects customers […]

    • Changing a disk to Temp Data

      Does anyone know if changing a disk to Temp Data causes Zerto to start replication over for the entire server?  I have a 50+ TB server that is still doing the initial sync for almost a month  (this is on a 10Gb LAN).  We believe it is never catching up because two of the LUNS […]

    • Pre-Seeding volumes

      I understand we can use pre-seeded volumes to copy the disks which will avoid the usage of WAN link for initial data sync. When we use Pre-seeded volumes in VMware, we are planning to use the hot clone of source VM’s and my questions are: Is this fully supported? what are the limitations? In the […]

    • Can you change where scripts run on HyperV hosts?

      Our AV software is complaining about the PS scripts that run under the service account’s profile in app\local\temp. We would like to exclude these files from scanning, but prefer not to exclude a location as common as app\local\temp. Is it possible to force Zerto to run these scripts in a preset directory? I am assuming that […]
