Step 5: Configure Target Replication Host

Choose the Target vCenter Server/ESXi host to which your source VMs data is to be replicated. If your target server is a ESXi host, select the corresponding ESXi host and the datastore from the drop-down list. If your target server is a vCenter Server, select the datastore from the drop-down list.

If you want to add the target VMware Server, click the Add ESXi/vCenter Server option. Provide the Hostname/IP address of the target Server. If you have previously added credentials for the target server, select it from the Select Credentials drop-down list.
To read more on adding credentials, read this section - Credential. If you have configured a different port number for the target server, change the port number manually and click Add.

Vembu provides you an option to add a suffix name to your Source VM name. This is used to identify the VM in the target server as a replication job. By default, the target VM replica will be given a suffix name as Replica, which can be edited. For Eg: If your Source VMs name is Vembu and Replica suffix name is Tech then your source VMs data will be replicated into a new VM in the Target Server named ‘Vembu_Tech’.
Select retention count for replicated data, that is the number of replication versions that have to be maintained in the target host. For eg: if you configure the retention count to three, then the latest 3 versions of the replication will be maintained. By default, the value is '7'. Click Next to proceed further.
