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.
