Failover Between Main and Business Continuity sites

Hello,

We have a stretched cluster configuration between two sites (Main & BC) with direct fiber connectivity.

Also with extended SAN fabric and stretched storage solution (HPE 3par Peer Persistence).

We have a Two Tier network design with Active\Standby cisco cores switches (HSRP) and Hosts directly connected to each stack of cores on each site.

From VMware perspective, we have one Vcenter and one cluster from 6 hosts (3 hosts on each site) with vsphere 6.5. this cluster is with HA and DRS fully automated.

When we rebooted a stack group on first site, all VMs didn't migrate to the second site although that the Vmotion is working between all hosts before.

Please advise,

Now we are in an enhancement phase and we are checking all configuration.

and our concern is to confirm that all the configuration are well applied and ready for a planned failover test for core switches.

So any ideas about what to check and what is the root cause of the failure of all VMs from first site to second one.

Please advise,
