Review source server information

The Server info tab shows a variety of general server information, hardware, and network information.

Server info tab displaying general information, hardware specs, and network details.

This tab shows you general information about the source server:

  • General information

    • Last updated: when was the data in this tab updated.

    • Date added: when was this server added to the service.

    • AWS ID: the ID of this source server resource

    • arn: the AWS Resource Name for this source server.

  • Identification hints: under most circumstances, the source server name is the best identifier, as it is what is used throughout the console as the name of the source server. If you need to validate which external server this is referring to in your data center, you can use one of the additional fields: Fully qualified domain name, VMware virtual machine identifier (only if source is VMWare), AWS instance ID (only is source is running on AWS).

  • Hardware and operating system: the CPUs, RAM, disks, and network interfaces on the external server, as well as the type and full name of the operating system running on that server. The disks shown are all the disk on the source server, and may include disks not being replicated.

  • Recommended instance type: this is the EC2 instance type the service is auto-recommending to use for the launched recovery instance. This is based only on the CPUs and RAM at the source (and not on utilization information). This is the instance type that will be launched for this server by default.
