Hosts are added in both side (Protected and Recovery), now we are going to assign the Volume to ESXi Host.
Right click on Host-1 – Go to “Assign and Unassigned Volume & Snapshots”.
Select the Volume and click on OK.
Volume has added with the first host
Same process we will do on the next Host
Right click on the Host-2, Select “Assign and Unassigned Volume & Snapshot”
Select the Volume and click OK
Now Volume has added with the Host
Now come on Recovery Site and we will performed the same step as done on Protected site.
Expand the Recovery-Group and Right click on Servers – Go to New Server
Enter Server Name – Description and vCenter IP address in ” Controlling Server Ip Address”
Check-In, Allow access via iSCSI and Enable Load Balancing
Select Authentication “CHAP not Required” & Click OK
Same process we will perform to add the another Host.
Then we will add the Volume with both Hosts as performed earlier with hosts on protected site.
