VM Replication between Local data stores
In my Lab , I have 2 ESX servers in 2 different vCenters.
I set up replication through VRA. I am not using Shared Storage.
in vCenter1 I have VRA and Ubuntu VM they are ESX1 datastore
in vCenter2 I have only VRA on ESX2 datastore
I am trying to replicate Ubuntu from ESX1 to ESX2
However when I get to the step shown in the screenshot…It does not give me the option to select the target datastore.
That made me think that the replication does not work without shared storage…
I hope I was wrong
Any help ?
Thanks

In the target site va;idation do you see validation success?

Then when you come to the target location you should see datastores associated with that vcenter. The tab you selected (VM storage policy) will always be None.
But are you not seeing any datastore when you come to the target location part of it? Do it again and try?

This happens due to browser issues sometimes. Can you download and install Mozilla Firefox on the windows machine and try?

I use Google Chrome and it does the same..
I have not tried Firefox …
I wonder if it is browser related
