    • Multipathing support

      So, I’m looking at the Zerto Virtual Manager Hyper-V Administration Guide, version 6.0 Rev01-U1 Mar2018. There’s a curious statement on page 261: Zerto Virtual Replication does not support multi-pathing. That’s a pretty blanket statement, and as written would seem to make Zerto unsupported in any highly-available Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN environment with Hyper-V. That […]

    • Using Zerto to migrate VMs from ESX 5.5 to 6.5\6.7

      I have an existing Zerto environment on vSphere 5.5U3 and I want to migrate the VMs to another environment on 6.5 or 6.7. It seems that the replication should continue to work between the 5.5 and 6.5\6.7 hosts. Anything I need to look out for   Thanks, Miguel

    • Zerto Support for VMware NSX?

      You can get the VMware explanation of NSX here: https://pubs.vmware.com/NSX-6/index.jsp#com.vmware.nsx.admin.doc/GUID-10944155-28FF-46AA-AF56-7357E2F20AF4.html My question is does Zerto currently support NSX, and if so, are there any particular ‘gotchas’ or issues to be aware of?

    • Can Zerto exclude disks for replication?

      I am trying to figure out if Zerto can completely ignore certain disks on a protected VM.  We have database backup dump devices that we do not want to replicate.  I realize there is a temp flag that can be set that will not replicate changes after initial sync but from the documentation I have […]
