Hi All,
I hope you have all read my ZLS deployment guide blog and found it useful in deploying your own ZLS into your environments. I thought I would do a follow up on a few things I have noticed now I have it imbedded in my setup.
ZLS seems to be relatively set and forget – unless you need to divide up licence keys you can pretty much forget it exists.
Ensure connectivity remains between ZLS and each ZVM Connected to it! If the ZLS does become disconnected from the ZVM’s then you will not be able to add new VPG’s to your environment
Once the ZLS becomes disconnected you will see the below error on your ZVM
Once you then try and run through the VPG Setup as you try and finalise the settings you will see this error:
Until you resolve the issue with the ZLS and ZVM communication you will be unable to create new VPG’s
All recovery functionality remains available so no impact to ongoing protection or the ability to recover any data either from the journal or LTR repositories.
Hope you found this useful
Cheers
Chris
