ZVM protected with FT

Hi,

Can I protect the ZVM with Fault Tolerance?

I have two DC’s on either side of my building – we run half our workload in one and half in the other. Zerto protects some workload between the rooms. The hosts in the two rooms are all in the one vCenter – giving us the ability to HA if storage stays up in one DC but not the hosts.

I can protect vCenter with vCenter HA (I take it this is supported!!!), however, if the room with the ZVM goes down I would like to be able to recover quickly. This is why I’m looking to see if I can protect the ZVM with FT?

We also have other sites with Zerto installed if that helps in this scenario?

Thanks,

Ryan S

Hi Ciaran,

Have you checked out this KB on protecting/recovering Zerto Virtual Manager?

Hi Ryan,

The document is about protecting the ZVM in a two site configuration. I will only have one ZVM in this configuration with the VPG having a target of itsself (but to a different host and SAN).

Thanks.

Rats I thought I was on to something 🙁

Let me pose the question internally and see if someone can help with an answer

Hey Ciaran,

I can point you to two places:
1. The Enterprise Guidelines PDF has an official statement for this scenario (found in technical documentation on myZerto)
2. One of our SEs actually wrote a blog about single ZVM and recovering Zeto in a failure scenario.
Single vCenter, Single ZVM, and Recovering Zerto in a Failure Scenario

Hope this helps
