To start working with the DRaaS feature, in the Infrastructure view, you can define the protection managers, which represent the Zerto Virtual Managers. Each protection manager works with a single vCenter , so that means that it and each Abiquo virtual datacenter works with a single vCenter. This means that administrators do not need to link protection managers with virtual datacenters in Abiquo. Each protection manager can cover the group of Abiquo virtual datacenters with VMs in the same vCenter.


For each protection manager, specify the recovery protection manager. When you fail over a VM fails over, it should be 'replicated' from one vCenter (production) to another (recovery). Also select the Allowed datacenters where users can work with these protection managers.

In the cloud, on the VM control panel, there is a new button to Enable DR protection or Disable DR protection for the VM. To protect a VM with DRaaS, the user just clicks the shield DR protection button. In the Abiquo backend, the platform creates Zerto Protection Groups for each Abiquo virtual appliance and these . The Zerto Protection Group are transparent to the Abiquo user and initially, Abiquo creates one Protection Group for each Abiquo virtual appliance.

On the VM icon, the DRaaS shield symbol is colored if the VM is protected.

In this initial version, the administrator must perform failover tests and failovers directly in Zerto.
