Configure disaster recovery as a service with Zerto

This document describes how to configure Abiquo properties for DRaaS with Zerto.

1. On the Abiquo Server and Remote Services servers, enable VM duplicate names in different datacenters. 

   abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdc=true

    You MUST set the same value on ALL servers 

   See Configure Abiquo to capture VMs with duplicate names

2. On the Remote Services server, set the NARS async pool property, which must have a value of 1. Note that this is the default value for this integration

   abiquo.nars.async.pool.zerto.max=1

3. On the Remote Services server, configure the DRaaS properties.
