You must add your source servers to the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery console in order to replicate them into AWS. Source servers are added by installing the AWS Replication Agent on each individual server. The following documentation provides installation paths for both Linux and Windows servers. Ensure that your servers are supported by AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery by reviewing the supported Windows operating systems and supported Linux operating systems documentation.
Once your source servers have been added to AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, you can monitor and interact with them from the Source Servers page. The source servers page is the default view in the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Console, and will be the page that you interact with the most. On the Source Servers page, you can view all of your source servers, monitor their recovery readiness and data replication state, see the last recovery result, see any pending actions, and sort your servers by a variety of categories. You can also perform a variety of commands from the Source Servers page through the command menus. These menus allow you to fully control your servers by launching drill and recovery instances and performing a variety of actions, such as adding servers, editing settings, disconnecting, and deleting servers.
You can choose the hostname of any individual source server on the source servers page in order to access the server details view. This view will allow you to see the details for individual servers. Here you will be able to see an in-depth overview of the server's recovery state, view the server's technical details, manage tags, manage disks, and most importantly, configure the individual replications settings and launch settings for the server.
