The intent of this post is to help you resolve a problem that can happen to you when applying a permanent license key from Zerto and see the following error message:
“ZVM is disconnected from the VRAs as usage information for billing purposes was not sent for 54 days. To ensure replication, resolve this issue. Click here to test usage transmission to Zerto“
ZVM Monitoring Events showing:
“Unsuccessful Billing Usage Transmission on Demand”
Additionally, in this post we cover how to make Zerto Analytics to see your site.
It’s important to make sure you followed all steps described in Zerto’s KB “Zerto CSP Automated Billing (Call Home)” , it can also help you address the error.
But if the Zerto’s link still doesn’t resolve the problem, let’s jump into the logs and find the following entry:
