A Python library for interacting with the Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) API.

This library provides a comprehensive Python interface to manage and automate Zerto Virtual Replication operations. It includes functionality for:

• Managing Virtual Protection Groups (VPGs)
• Handling VM protection and recovery
• Managing checkpoints and recovery points
• Monitoring alerts and events
• Managing licenses
• Configuring service profiles
• Handling encryption detection
• Managing datastores and VRAs
• Working with server date/time settings
• Managing ZORGs (Zerto Organizations)

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/zerto-python-library.git cd zerto-python-library pip install -r requirements.txt

• requests
• urllib3
• logging
• json
• typing

The library is organized into several modules:

• zvml/ - Core library components
  • alerts.py - Alert management and monitoring
  • checkpoints.py - Checkpoint operations and management
  • common.py - Common enums and utilities
  • encryptiondetection.py - Encryption detection functionality
  • license.py - License management
  • localsite.py - Local site operations
  • recovery_reports.py - Recovery reporting functionality
  • server_date_time.py - Server time operations
  • service_profiles.py - Service profile configuration
  • tasks.py - Task management and monitoring
  • virtualization_sites.py - Site management operations
  • vpgs.py - VPG operations and management
  • vras.py - VRA deployment and management
  • zorgs.py - ZORG operations

Each example script demonstrates specific functionality:

alerts_example.py - Simple alert monitoring and management (list, dismiss, undismiss):

python examples/alerts_example.py
--zvm_address "192.168.111.20"
--client_id "zerto-api"
--client_secret "your-secret-here"
--ignore_ssl

vpg_vms_example.py - VPG creation and VM management between VPGs:

python examples/vpg_vms_example.py
--zvm_address "192.168.111.20"
--client_id "zerto-api"
--client_secret "your-secret-here"
--ignore_ssl

vpg_failover_example.py - Complete VPG lifecycle including failover testing:

python examples/vpg_failover_example.py
--zvm_address "192.168.111.20"
--client_id "zerto-api"
--client_secret "your-secret-here"
--ignore_ssl

vras_example.py - Interactive VRA deployment and management:

python examples/vras_example.py
--zvm_address "192.168.111.20"
--client_id "zerto-api"
--client_secret "your-secret-here"
--ignore_ssl

zorgs_example.py - ZORG information retrieval and management:

python examples/zorgs_example.py
--zvm_address "192.168.111.20"
--client_id "zerto-api"
--client_secret "your-secret-here"
--ignore_ssl

• Python 3.6+
• Zerto Virtual Replication environment
• Network access to ZVM server
• Keycloak authentication credentials

1. Clone the repository
2. Install required dependencies
3. Configure your Zerto environment credentials
4. Run the example scripts to understand basic operations
5. Integrate the library into your automation workflows

The library uses Keycloak authentication. You'll need:

• ZVM server address
• Client ID
• Client Secret
• Optional: SSL verification settings

The library includes comprehensive error handling and logging:

• Input validation
• Error status checking
• Detailed error messages
• Operation status logging
