When you configure a replication target for Hyper-V, provide Hyper-V specific values for the destination site.
General Options
-
Target name: Enter a descriptive name for the destination (for example, DR site 1).
-
Destination client: Select a hypervisor for the destination VMs.
-
VM display name: Select Prefix or Suffix, and then enter a string to append to source VMs to create the display name for each destination VM.
-
Access node: Select a VSA proxy to perform operations for the replication target.
-
Security: Select the users or user groups that you want to have access to the target.
Destination Options
-
Restore location: The restore location in the default Hyper-V folder.
-
Destination folder: To restore to a location other than the Hyper-V default folder, from the Restore location list, select Select a folder, and then browse to select a location.
You can enter the network path for an SMB (Server Message Block Protocol) share as the destination folder, provided that the destination SMB share meets the requirements described in Configuring Backups for Virtual Machines Hosted on SMB Shares. You cannot select an SMB share by browsing.

-
No of VMs: Select the number of concurrent VMs that each user can run on the replication target.
