Reverse Protection with One-to-Many
-
- Last UpdatedNov 27, 2024
Zerto enables you to protect virtual machines in a maximum of three VPGs. These VPGs cannot be recovered to the same site.
If Reverse Protection is selected, and the virtual machines are already protected in other VPGs, the following occurs:
• | The virtual machines are deleted from the protected site. |
• | The replication of other VPGs containing these machines is paused. |
• | The recovery of all the virtual machines, including the virtual machine removed from the protected site, is possible. |
To resume replication do the following:
1. | Open the Edit VPG wizard. |
2. | Select the virtual machine that was previously deleted from the protected site. |
3. | Remove the virtual machine from the VPG. |
If the protected VPG contains a vCD vApp, and the vCD vApp is protected in other VPGs, Reverse Protection is selected, the following occurs:
• | The vCD vApp is deleted from the protected site. |
• | The vCD vApp is deleted from the other VPGs, and therefore can no longer be recovered. |
VPGs enter a state of pause and pause replication if the following conditions apply:
• | The ZVM on the protected and recovery sites are of version 5.5 and higher. |
• | The VRA installed on the recovery site is of version 5.5 and higher. |
Protecting virtual machines or a vCD vApp in several VPGs is enabled if:
• | The protected site and the recovery site are of version 5.0 and higher. |
• | The VRAs installed on these sites are of version 5.0 and higher. |
