Installing Zerto Virtual Replication in VMware vSphere Environments
The Zerto Virtual Replication installation deploys the Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) and copies the installation software for the Virtual Replication Appliance (VRA).
A complete installation includes installing Zerto Virtual Replication on the protected and peer, recovery, sites. When both these sites are managed by a single vCenter Server, 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 is also in the datacenter 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 Virtual Replication using the defaults provided by Zerto or perform a custom install, in which you can determine the ports that will be used by Zerto Virtual Replication.
