Handling a Ghost Zerto Cloud Connector
When an event occurs, for example the host machine crashes or the cloud connector is accidentally deleted, the cloud connector is displayed as a Ghost Cloud Connector.
You can repair the cloud connector by selecting it and clicking Redeploy to reinstall the cloud connector with the original addresses.
The Redeploy Cloud Connector dialog is displayed.
Some of the original values specified for the cloud connector must be used to redeploy the cloud connector, for example, the site where it will be redeployed. Specify the following values that are enabled:
Host and VM Name – Specify the recovery ESX/ESXi host for the cloud connector virtual machine. The dropdown displays the hosts which do not have a cloud connector installed. You can change the host for the cloud connector. After specifying the host, the VM Name value is automatically updated to the original name with a number suffix added to make the name unique. After the name is displayed you can change it.
Datastore – The datastore for the cloud connector virtual machine.
Organization Network – The network details used by the customer. All the values from the original definition are fixed except for the network, which you can change:
Network – The name of the network from the list of available networks.
Cloud Network – The local network details for the cloud service provider. All the values from the original definition are fixed except for the network and static group, which you can change:
Network – The name of the cloud-side network from the list of available networks.
Static Route Group – The name of the group for which static routes are defined to the Zerto Virtual Manager network and VRA network. If a static route group is not specified, it is assumed that the Zerto Virtual Manager and VRAs are on the cloud network.
The cloud connector is recreated using the new settings.
