#HYPER V MANAGER INSTALL INSTALL#
Install the ZVM service onto the dedicated management VMs provisioned for each SCVMM server, linking it into the SCVMM server for that site with a dedicated service account.To summarize the process in the correct order: If the SCVMM or vCenter server is unavailable then the ZVM is unable to perform recovery operations, so both management servers should be protected by high availability in a VM.įollowing is the architecture for installing Zerto in a Microsoft Hyper-V environment: It is recommended to have 1 SCVMM server or vCenter (if replicating to/from VMware vSphere) per data center for disaster recovery.

One ZVM is required per SCVMM or vCenter server and any number of ZVMs can be linked together for replication, recovery and management.
#HYPER V MANAGER INSTALL WINDOWS#
The management Windows VM is where you install the Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) service to manage disaster recovery. In the below diagram are the pre-install requirements for Zerto in Microsoft Hyper-V: Just as Zerto utilizes VMware vCenter for task orchestration and automation in a VMware vSphere environment, it utilizes Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) in a Microsoft Hyper-V environment. By Joshua Stenhouse, Zerto Technical Marketing ManagerĪfter discussing features, requirements & cross-hypervisor replication in part 1 of our discussion on Zerto from Microsoft Hyper-V, in this second blog post I will cover the installation requirements for Zerto.
