Installing Zerto Virtual Replication in On-Premise Environments
The Zerto installation deploys the Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) and copies the installation for the Virtual Replication Appliance (VRA).
A complete installation includes installing Zerto on the protected and peer, recovery, sites.
Note: In some cases, when both these sites are managed by a single vCenter Server or SCVMM, Zerto Virtual Replication is installed on only one site. In this case, Zerto recommends the following:
■ Install Zerto Virtual Replication in the site where protected machines will be recovered.
■ Make sure that the machine running the vCenter Server or SCVMM is also in the site used for the recovery and not protection.
In all cases, Zerto recommends that you do not install Zerto Virtual Replication on the machine running the vCenter Server service.
You can install Zerto using the defaults provided by Zerto, or perform a custom install, whereby you can determine the ports that will be used by Zerto.
