Installing Zerto Virtual Replication : Installing Zerto Virtual Replication in VMware vSphere Environments : Performing an Express Installation
  
Performing an Express Installation
You can install Zerto Virtual Replication using the defaults provided by Zerto. Site information and information to connect to vCloud Director can be provided, if required, after the installation in the Zerto User Interface.
Note: You cannot install Zerto Virtual Replication on the same machine where another version of Zerto Virtual Replication has been installed, for example, if the Zerto Virtual Replication for Microsoft Hyper-V version has been installed on the machine.
Before you Begin:
■ Make sure you reviewed Database Requirements.
To perform an express install of Zerto Virtual Replication:
1. Run the Zerto Virtual Replication installer for VMware.
■ If the required version of Microsoft .NET Framework is not installed, you are prompted to install the required version of .NET Framework, which is included as part of the Zerto Virtual Replication installation package.
After .NET is installed, the machine automatically restarts and the Zerto Virtual Replication installation begins.
2. Follow the wizard through the installation until the Choose Installation Type dialog and select the Express installation option.
3. Click NEXT.
The vCenter Server Connectivity window appears.
4. Specify the following:
■ IP / Host Name: The IP address or host name of the machine where the vCenter Server runs.
■ Username: The user name of a user with administrator level privileges in the vCenter Server. The name can be entered using either of the following formats:
■ username
■ domain\username
■ Password: A valid password for the given user name.
■ Site Name: A name to identify the site.
5. Click NEXT.
The Validation window appears.
The installation performs checks to make sure that the installation can proceed successfully.
6. If you intend managing your disaster recovery from this machine, you can select to open the Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) Interface at the end of the installation, logging in with the user name and password for the vCenter Server connected to the Zerto Virtual Manager. In this user interface you set up Zerto Virtual Replication, as described in “Initial Configuration”, on page 29.
7. You must exclude the Zerto Virtual Replication folder from antivirus scanning. Failure to do so may lead to the ZVR folder being incorrectly identified as a threat and in some circumstances corrupt the ZVR folder.
8. Add the machine to the relevant host boot configuration, so that on starting up the host, this machine, running the Zerto Virtual Manager, is also powered on automatically.
9. Install Zerto Virtual Replication on the peer sites.
