April 2020 Release

1.4.0.20200410

Zerto Virtual Manager

• Addressed a reported issue in the Get-ZertoRecoveryReport function where the -VpgIdentifier parameter was not working. This parameter is not accepted by the API as a valid filter and is ignored. This parameter has been removed from the function.
• Addressed a reported issue where the Export-ZertoVpgNicSetting function would not properly execute when run against a VM with no NICs attached.
• In reviewing the Export-ZertoVpgNicSetting, a review of the Import-ZertoVpgNicSetting was completed and it was determined to update the import logic based on various test cases. Along with this, it is now possible to reset the NIC settings to the default state with the Import-ZertoVpgNicSetting command. Please review the Import-ZertoVpgNicSetting help to review the updated options and import logic.
• Refactored the Checkpoint-ZertoVpg command to allow pipeline input (ByValue and ByProperty) for the VpgName parameter.
• Corrected a parameter typo in the Get-ZertoVpgSetting function. The misspelt parameter was added as an alias to ensure any existing scripts using the parameter continue to function.
• Refactored the Get-ZertoVpg command to remove repetitive commands and variables that are no longer required.
• Moved Invoke-ZertoRestRequest and Invoke-ZARestRequest to be public functions. As there become more and more scenarios where there are not prebuilt functions to accomplish complex specialized tasks, it became apparent that these functions could be leveraged to make the experience and workflow easier.
• Updated the Install-ZertoVra logic to ensure that the target datastore is available on the target host. There isn't currently any method to validate the target network, but if that becomes available in a later version of the API, the function will be updated.
• Updated the Install-ZertoVra function to allow for installation of the VRA using the host password method. Please review the Install-ZertoVra documentation for syntax and examples.
• Updated the Edit-ZertoVra function to allow for modification of the associated ESX host password if the need arises. Please review the Edit-ZertoVra documentation for syntax and examples.
• Added a new function, Set-ZertoUserCredential, to allow the updating of the username and password used to connect the Zerto Virtual Manager to the paired hypervisor. Please see the Set-ZertoUserCredential help for additional information.
• With the release of Zerto 8.0 some additional API endpoints have become available.
  • Updated Get-ZertoVirtualizationSite to add the -repository parameter to enable returning information for LTR repositories.
  • Updated Get-ZertoVpgSetting to add the -ltr parameter to enable returning information for current LTR settings for the selected VPG.

December 2019 Release

1.3.0.20191201

Zerto Virtual Manager

• Zerto version 7.5 has been released. As part of this release Zerto has added API functionality that requires the following updates.
  • A token is now required to pair two sites together. The need is discussed in Issue 46. To implement this change a -token parameter has been added to the Add-ZertoPeerSite function.
  • A new function has been added; New-ZertoPairingToken. This function will allow users to generate a pairing authentication token from the target ZVM to be used in the pairing process. Issue 47 covers additional details.
• A new function has been added; Invoke-ZertoEvacuateVra. This function will allow users to evacuate a target VRA by specifying a Host Name, VRA Name, or VRA Identifier. All VMs currently replicating to the specified location will be migrated to different targets. Issue 51
• A function has been added; Copy-ZertoVpg. This function will allow users to copy the settings of a single VPG and add new VMs to it. There is currently no customization beyond specifying the VMs to be placed in the newly created VPG. Should additional edits \ updates be required, they should be done post creation. Issue 54
• Fixed issue 57 where a Start-ZertoFailoverTest would throw an error complaining about validating the body parameter. This has been fixed and tested against Zerto Virtual Manager 7.5 Update 1 with Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell Core 6.2.
