Click “Add…” button for selecting Replication Group Members
From this location “dw.com” to enter the object name as “VBHV-FS-01;VBHV-FS-11” next to click “Check Names” button
After the object names are resolved, please click “OK” button
Check members progress now
When the members have already added, click “Next >" button
Due to I will create One-Way replication, select “No topology” option next to click “Next >” button
The warning message show up and tell us that the custom topology need to be created by ourselves after this wizard finishes.

Now the DFS Management about Replication setting is as follows:
Due to only create one replication path from VBHV-FS-01 to VBHV-FS-11, the reverse path from VBHV-FS-11 to VBHV-FS-01 also need to be created so that the topology will be fully connected.
Click “Connections” tab and “New Connection…” action
Change Sending member to “VBHV-FS-11” and Receiving member to “VBHV-FS-01”, disable “Create a second connection in the opposite direction” check box next to click “OK” button
