on SW1, you are load balancing traffic returning from the Server to hosts.
Assuming all are in VLAN X, then SW1 I'd configure load-balance based on Dst
Mac.

However, on SW2, you ideally want to load balance traffic destined to
server, then on SW2 I'd configure load-balance based on Src Mac or IP.

Load balancing configuration are locally significant and impact the traffic
one way only (while exiting the switch via port channel).
