Hyper-v replica

Hello,
2 hyper-v 2016 hosts.
Client wants me to set up replica between hosts.
Should I enable both hosts as replica server and than configure guest VMs on both hosts for replica
or just one host can be  replica(DR) server and other primary?

In this example one server is replica server and other primary

What if I need enable replication for guest VM on replica server host.

You can right click on the Guest VM and select the Enable Replication, it will open the replication wizard.
Pl. Note: Enabling the replication option will not enable the auto fail-over of the VM in case of host failure, you always need to manually start the VM on another host.
Kerberos works when both source and replica hosts are in the same domain.

Use certificate based HTTPS for non-domain joined or for different domain based hosts.

You can right click on the Guest VM and select the Enable Replication, it will open the replication wizard.

I cant
First I need to specify replication server at host level.
Can I specify replication server for both hosts or one host needs to be primary and second replication?

That's the destination server's name. Click the Configure Server step or run the enable replication steps on the destination.
