Objective

This guide describes the functionality of the VRA tab in Zerto on Managed VMware vSphere.

This view allows you to:

• Display all Virtual Replication Appliances (VRAs) present on the installation.
• Select one or more VRAs using checkboxes.
• Apply a target resource configuration via the Target resources list.

Prerequisites

• Have an active Managed VMware vSphere service with Zerto enabled.
• Have access to the Zerto section of your datacenter.
• Have the necessary rights to launch a resizing operation.
• Verify that your PCC has sufficient resources (CPU, RAM, storage) to apply configuration changes.

In practice

Step 1: View the VRA list

The VRA view displays a table containing the VRAs present on your installation, including:

• The VRA name.
• The VM identifier (VMid).
• The associated resources.

Each row has a checkbox for selection.

Step 2: Select the VRAs to resize

You can select one or more VRAs at the same time.

As long as no VRA is selected:

• The Target resources field is disabled.
• The Start resize button is disabled.

When at least one VRA is selected:

• The Target resources field becomes available.

The Start resize button becomes active only after:

• Selection of at least one VRA.
• Choice of a value in Target resources.

Step 3: Choose the Target resources configuration

In the Target resources list, choose the destination configuration (e.g., 1 vCPU - 2 GiB, 2 vCPU - 6 GiB, etc. depending on displayed options).

The list displays only configurations applicable to the selected VRAs.

Step 4: Confirm the resize operation

Click Start Resize after selecting the VRAs and the target resource configuration.

A confirmation window opens with the title Confirm VRA reconfiguration. This window displays:

• The target profile chosen.
• The list of VRAs that will be reconfigured.
• A warning message indicating that the operation may temporarily affect the replications configured in your VPGs.

Available actions:

• Confirm: starts the reconfiguration of the selected VRAs.
• Cancel: closes the window without applying any changes.
