Accessing the Zerto User Interface
You manage the protection and replication of virtual machines in vSphere, between the protected and recovery sites, using the Zerto User Interface. On first access to the user interface, you might have to add a security certificate to set up secure communication. Zerto also provides a set of RESTful APIs and PowerShell cmdlets to enable incorporating some of the disaster recovery functionality within scripts or programs.
You manage the protection and replication of virtual machines between the protected and recovery sites, using one of the following:
■ The Zerto Virtual Manager Web Client.
■ The vSphere Web Client.
■ The vSphere Client console.
Note: You must exclude the following folders from antivirus scanning:
Zerto Virtual Replication |
%ProgramData%\Zerto\Data\zvm_db.mdf |
C:\Program Files\Zerto\Zerto Virtual Replication\Zerto.Zvm.Service.exe |
C:\Program Files\Zerto\Zerto Virtual Replication\Zerto.Vba.VbaService.exe |
C:\Program Files\Zerto\Zerto Virtual Replication\Zerto Online Services Connector\Zerto.Online.Services.Connector.exe |
C:\Program Files\Zerto\Zerto Virtual Replication\Embedded DB Manager Service\Zerto.LocalDbInstanceManagerService.exe |
Failure to do so may lead to the Zerto Virtual Replication folder being incorrectly identified as a threat and in some circumstances corrupt the Zerto Virtual Replication folder.
