Hey all
I have recently taken on some work which involves using Zerto to provide Disaster Recovery protection for vRA managed VMs for customers. I guess I am not totally 'satisfied' with how this has been implemented and thought that I'd consult with the community and see if anyone else is using Zerto with vRA in the same vein. I am looking for the most optimal method to fail over a machine to another site. Currently, if a machine is failed over, a new VM is recovered at the recovery site and all the configuration of the protected VM is replayed. This involves capturing all the protected VM config such as Custom Properties, vSphere tags, Custom Attributes, Annotations, NSX security groups / tags, etc.. When the machine is recovered, it is treated as a brand new machine and is imported back into vRA (to the same tenant/reservation) and the stored configuration is replayed.
So I'm wondering if anyone else is doing something similar but in a more efficient manner than simply importing and replaying all the VMs config from all sources?
Thanks,
Gavin
