    zDeploy: a one-binary wizard for deploying the Zerto appliance on HPE HVM

    Posted on October 20, 2026 by Justin Paul | 0 Comments
    If you’ve installed Zerto for HPE Morpheus / HVM (VM Essentials), you know the appliance doesn’t show up as a nice single OVA you point a wizard at.

    chat.jpaul.me: Ask Zerto, HPE Morpheus, and OpsRamp Questions From a Browser

    Posted on October 8, 2026 by Justin Paul | 0 Comments
    Back in May I wrote about my Zerto Docs MCP server, the thing that lets Claude, Copilot, or Cursor answer Zerto questions straight from help.zerto.com with citations.

    Why I replaced MetaMCP with a custom MCP gateway I designed

    Posted on August 12, 2026 by Justin Paul | 0 Comments
    Recently I started moving my MCP tools from a MetaMCP instance to a new MCP gateway call torii. Torii is a replacement for MetaMCP that I wrote the requirements for (I won’t attempt to say I coded it because that isn’t the world we live in anymore). Let’s talk about the differences and why I…
