Building the First Cluster
Walking the Add Cluster wizard for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials: HCI vs non-HCI, the three-node minimum, what each field does, and how the build actually runs.

Three components, one I/O path
Second post in the HPE Zerto Software track. Z-1 covered what CDP is and what’s supported on HVM; this one is the architecture — and the firewall request. HPE Zerto Software (Zerto) has fewer moving parts than most DR products, which is one of its quieter advantages. There are three things to understand, and everything
