Jinshu,

 

GTM load balancing is two tiered. First the wide-ip, then second the virtual server. Usually the top tier represents resources on a region basis and then the second for resources within in that region. If you just have the two DC's then you only need one pool in the Wide IP configuration.

 

Ensure your servers associated with each Data Centre. Then in your topology records you really just need to say source 10/8 goes to data centre Data Centre 1 (not a pool name but a Data Centre). Source 20/8 need to goto Data Centre 2. Then just add your virtuals from different DC's into that single pool.

 

The GTM will then deliver the traffic based on the source to each DC.
