Exercise 5: VPG Operations - Solution (Part 1: VPG Creation)
This script demonstrates how to create and configure VPGs in your Zerto environment.
Prerequisites:
1. Install the zvml package in development mode:
cd /path/to/zvml-python-sdk
pip install -e .
2. Update prerequisites/config.py with your ZVM details
Usage:
python create_vpg.py --vm-names "vm1" "vm2" "vm3" [--vpg-name "My-VPG"]
This solution demonstrates:
- Creating a new VPG with basic settings
- Configuring journal, recovery, and network settings
- Adding specified VMs to the VPG
- Proper error handling and logging
