Installing the AWS Replication Agent on Windows - AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery

Installing the AWS Replication Agent on Windows

To install the AWS Replication Agent on a Windows source server, you should ensure that your source meets all the requirements list in the Supported Operating Systems documentation.

Prior to installing the AWS Replication Agent, please ensure that you are aware of the following:

  • You need to run the agent installer file as an Administrator on each Windows server.

  • We recommend using Windows PowerShell, which supports the 'Ctrl+V' shortcut for pasting. Windows Command Prompt (cmd) does not support this functionality.

Before installing the AWS Replication Agent, AWSReplicationWindowsInstaller.exe, it needs to be downloaded. Copy or distribute the downloaded agent installer to each Windows source server that you want to add to AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery.

The agent installer follows the following format:

https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-<REGION>.s3.<REGION>.amazonaws.com/latest/windows/AwsReplicationWindowsInstaller.exe

Note

Replace <REGION> with the AWS Region into which you are replicating.

The following is an example URL for downloading the installer file from the us-east-1 region :

https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/windows/AwsReplicationWindowsInstaller.exe
Note

AWS Regions that are not opt-in also support the shorter installer path: https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-<REGION>.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/windows/AwsReplicationWindowsInstaller.exe . Replace <REGION> with the AWS Region into which you are replicating.

Note

If you are using a Windows Servers of versions 2016 or older, and are using PowerShell to download the installer, you need to enable TLS 1.2: [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = 'TLS12'

Note

Microsoft Windows Server versions 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, and 2008 R2 use a unique version of the AWS Replication Agent that is only valid for legacy Windows OSs (AwsReplicationWindowsLegacyInstaller.exe). DO NOT use this installer file to install the agent on any other OS types. You can download it from https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-<REGION>.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/windows_legacy/AwsReplicationWindowsLegacyInstaller.exe . Replace <REGION> with the AWS Region into which you are replicating.

  1. Run the agent installer file AWSReplicationWindowsInstaller.exe as an Administrator.

    The installer will confirm that the installation of the AWS Replication Agent has started.

    The installation of the AWS Replication Agent has started.
  2. The installer will prompt you to enter your AWS Region Name, the AWS Access Key ID and the AWS Secret Access Key that you previously generated. Enter the complete AWS Region name (for example: eu-central-1), and the full AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key.

    The installation of the AWS Replication Agent has started. AWS Region name: us-east-1 AWS Access Key ID: AKIAI0SF0DNN71EXAMPLE AWS Secret Access Key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K71MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
    Note

    You can also enter these values as part of the installation script command parameters. If you do not enter these parameters as part of the installation script, you will be prompted to enter them one by one as described above. (for example: AwsReplicationWindowsInstaller.exe --region regionname --aws-access-key-id AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE --aws-secret-access-key wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY)

    If you require additional customization, you can add a variety of parameters to the installation script in order to manipulate the way the Agent is installed on your server. See the Installer Parameters for more information.

  3. Once you have entered your credentials, the installer will verify that the source server has enough free disk space for Agent installation and identify volumes for replication. The installer will display the identified disks and prompt you to choose the disks you want to replicate.

Your disks are: c: To replication some of the disks, type the path of the disks, separated with a comma (for example, C:,D:). To replication all disks, press Enter: Disk to replciate identified: c:0 of size 30GiB

    The installer will confirm that all of the disks were successfully identified.

    Note

    When identifying specific disks for replication, do not use apostrophes, brackets, or disk paths that do not exist. Type only existing disk paths. Each disk that you selected for replication is displayed with the caption Disk to replicate identified. However, the displayed list of identified disks for replication may differ from the data you entered. This difference can due to several reasons:

    • The root disk of the source server is always replicated, whether you select it or not. Therefore, it always appears on the list of identified disks for replication.

    • AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery replicates whole disks. Therefore, if you choose to replicate a partition, its entire disk will appear on the list and will later be replicated. If several partitions on the same disk are selected, then the disk encompassing all of them will only appear once on the list.

    • Incorrect disks may be chosen by accident. Ensure that the correct disks have been chosen.

    Important

    If disks are disconnected from a server, AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery can no longer replicate them, so they are removed from the list of replicated disks. When they are re-connected, the AWS Replication Agent cannot know that these were the same disks that were disconnected and therefore does not add them automatically. To add the disks after they are reconnected, rerun the AWS Replication Agent installer on the server.

    Note that the returned disks will need be replicated from the beginning. Any disk size changes will be automatically identified, but will also cause a resync. Perform a test after installing the Agent to ensure that the correct disks have been added.

  4. After all of the disks that will be replicated have been successfully identified, the installer will download and install the AWS Replication Agent on the source server.

  5. Once the AWS Replication Agent is installed, the server will be added to the Elastic Disaster Recovery Console and will undergo the initial sync process. The installer will provide you with the source server's ID.
