# Installing the AWS Replication Agent on Linux
Linux

To install the agent on a Linux source server, you should ensure that your source meets all the requirements list in the [supported Linux operating systems](Supported-Operating-Systems-Linux.md) documentation.

 Before installing, please ensure that you are aware of the following: 
+ You need root privileges to run the Agent installer file on a Linux server. Alternatively, you can run the Agent Installer file with sudo permissions.
+ The Linux installer creates the **"aws-replication"** group and **"aws-replication"** user within that group. The Agent runs within the context of the newly created user. Agent installation attempts to add the user to **"sudoers"**. Installation fails if the Agent is unable to add the newly created **"aws-replication"** user to **"sudoers"**.

1. Download the agent installer `aws-replication-installer-init` onto your Linux source server. 

   The Agent installer download location follows this format:

    `https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-<REGION>.s3.<REGION>.amazonaws.com/latest/linux/aws-replication-installer-init` 
**Note**  
Replace `<REGION>` with the AWS Region into which you are replicating.

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

------
#### [ wget ]

   ```
   wget -O ./aws-replication-installer-init https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/linux/aws-replication-installer-init
   ```

------
#### [ curl ]

   ```
   curl -o aws-replication-installer-init https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/linux/aws-replication-installer-init
   ```

------
**Note**  
If you are using a legacy Linux OS that does not support TLS 1.2, you need to download the installer on a different server with an OS that supports TLS 1.2 and copy it to the legacy servers you intend to install the agent on. 

   The command line indicates when the installer has been successfully downloaded. 
**Important**  
If you need to validate the installer hash, the correct hash is here:  
 `https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-hashes-<REGION>.s3.<REGION>.amazonaws.com/latest/linux/aws-replication-installer-init.sha512`   
 Replace `<REGION>` with the AWS Region into which you are replicating  
For example, when using the **us-east-1** Region  
`https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-hashes-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/linux/aws-replication-installer-init.sha512`
**Note**  
AWS Regions that are not opt-in also support the shorter installer path:   
`https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-<REGION>.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/linux/aws-replication-installer-init`. 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'` 

1. Use this command on your source server in order to run the installation script.

   ```
   chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   ```
**Note**  
To install the agent on a secured network, [learn about the additional required configurations](installing-agent-blocked.md).

   If you require additional customization, you can add a variety of parameters to the installer script in order to manipulate the way the Agent is installed on your server. See the [AWS Replication Agent Installer Parameters](installer-parameters.md) for more information.

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

   ```
   $ chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   The installation of the AWS Replication Agent has started.
   ```

1. The installer prompts you to enter your **AWS Region Name**, the **AWS Access Key ID** and **AWS Secret Access Key** that you previously generated. Enter the complete AWS Region name (for example, eu-central-1), the full AWS Access Key ID and the full AWS Secret Access Key. 

   ```
   $ chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   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 are prompted to enter them one by one as described above. (for example: `chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init --region regionname --aws-access-key-id AKIAIOSFODNN71EXAMPLE --aws-secret-access-key wJalrXUtnFEMI/K71MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY`)

1. Once you have entered your credentials, the installer identifies volumes for replication. The installer displays the identified disks and prompt you to choose the disks you want to replicate. 

   ```
   $ chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   ...
   AWS Secret Access Key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K71MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
   Identifying volumes for replication.
   Choose the disks you want to replication. Your disks are: /dev/sda,/dev/xvda
   To replication some of the disks, type the path of the disks, separated with a comma (for example, /dev/sda,/dev/sdb).
   To replication all disks, press Enter:
   ```

   To replicate some of the disks, type the path of the disks, separated by a comma, as illustrated in the installer (such as: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc). To replicate all of the disks, press Enter. The installer identifies the selected disks and prints their size.

   ```
   $ chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   ...
   To replication some of the disks, type the path of the disks, separated with a comma (for example, /dev/sda,/dev/sdb).
   To replication all disks, press Enter:
   Identified volume for replication: /dev/xvda of size 8 GiB
   ```

   The installer confirms that all disks were successfully identified. 

   ```
   $ chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   ...
   Identified volume for replication: /dev/xvda of size 8 GiB
   All volumes for replication 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 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 appears on the list and is later replicated. If several partitions on the same disk are selected, then the disk encompassing all of them appears only 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 reconnected, 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 need to be replicated from the beginning. Any disk size change is automatically identified, but also causes a resync. Perform a test after installing the Agent to ensure that the correct disks have been added.

1. After all of the disks to be replicated have been successfully identified, the installer downloads and installs the AWS Replication Agent on the source server.

   ```
   $ chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   ...
   Identified volume for replication: /dev/xvda of size 8 GiB
   All volumes for replication were successfully identified.
   Downloading the AWS Replication Agent onto the source server... Finished
   Installing the AWS Replication Agent onto the source server... Finished
   ```

1. Once the AWS Replication Agent is installed, the server is added to the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery console and undergoes the initial sync process. The installer provides the source server's ID. 

   ```
   $ chmod +x aws-replication-installer-init; sudo ./aws-replication-installer-init
   ...
   Installing the AWS Replication Agent onto the source server... Finished
   Syncing the source server with the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery console... Finished
   The following is the source server ID: s-3146f90b19example
   The AWS Replication Agent was successfully installed.
   $
   ```

   You can review this process in real time on the **Source servers** page.

# Installing the AWS Replication Agent on Windows
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 Windows operating systems](Supported-Operating-Systems-Windows.md) 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\$1V' 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.
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'` 
Microsoft Windows Server versions 2008 and 2008 R2 use a version of the AWS Replication Agent that is only valid for those versions - `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.
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 uses a version of the AWS Replication Agent that is only valid for that version AwsReplicationWindows2012LegacyInstaller.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/windows_2012_legacy/AwsReplicationWindows2012LegacyInstaller.exe` . Replace `<REGION>` with the AWS Region into which you are replicating.  
If you need to validate the installer hash, the correct hash is here: `https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-hashes-<region>.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/windows_legacy/AwsReplicationWindows2012LegacyInstaller.exe.sha512` (replace <region> with the AWS Region into which you are replicating.

## Validating the downloaded AWS Replication Agent installer for Windows versions 2008 and 2008 R2.


**Important**  
If you need to validate the installer hash, the correct hash is here:  
 `https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-hashes-<REGION>.s3.<REGION>.amazonaws.com/latest/windows_legacy/AwsReplicationWindowsLegacyInstaller.exe.sha512`   
 Replace `<REGION>` with the AWS Region into which you are replicating, for example: us-east-1:  
`https://aws-elastic-disaster-recovery-hashes-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/windows_legacy/AwsReplicationWindowsLegacyInstaller.exe.sha512 `

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

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

   ```
   The installation of the AWS Replication Agent has started.
   ```

1. The installer prompts 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. If you are using temporary credentials, you also need to specify the session token.

   ```
   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 are 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](installer-parameters.md) for more information. 

1. Once you have entered your credentials, the installer verifies that the source server has enough free disk space for Agent installation and identify volumes for replication. The installer displays the identified disks and prompts you to choose the disks you want to replicate. 

   ```
   ...
   AWS Secret Access Key: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K71MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
   Verifying that the source server has enough free disk space to install the AWS Replication Agent.
   (a minimum of 2GB of free disk space is required)
   Identifying volumes for replication.
   Choose the disks you want to replication. 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:
   ```

   To replicate some of the disks, type the path of the disks, separated by a comma, as illustrated in the installer (for example: C:, D:, etc). To replicate all of the disks, press **Enter**. The installer identifies the selected disks and prints their size.

   ```
   ...
   Identifying volumes for replication.
   Choose the disks you want to replication. 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 confirms that all of the disks were successfully identified. 

   ```
   ...
   Identifying volumes for replication.
   Choose the disks you want to replication. 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
   All volumes for replication 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 appears on the list and is later replicated. If several partitions on the same disk are selected, then the disk encompassing all of them appears only 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 need to be replicated from the beginning. Any disk size changes are automatically identified, but also cause a resync. Perform a test after installing the Agent to ensure that the correct disks have been added.

1. After all of the disks to be replicated have been successfully identified, the installer downloads and installs the AWS Replication Agent on the source server.

   ```
   ...
   All volumes for replication were successfully identified
   Downloading the AWS Replication Agent onto the source server... Finished
   Installing the AWS Replication Agent onto the source server... Finished
   ```

1. Once the AWS Replication Agent is installed, the server is added to the Elastic Disaster Recovery Console and undergoes the initial sync process. The installer provides the source server's ID. 

   ```
   ...
   All volumes for replication were successfully identified
   Downloading the AWS Replication Agent onto the source server... Finished
   Installing the AWS Replication Agent onto the source server... Finished
   Syncing the source server with the Elastic Disaster Recovery Console... Finished
   The following is the source server ID: s-3146f90b19example
   The AWS Replication Agent was successfully installed.
   Press Enter to close...
   ```

   You can review this process in real time on the **Source servers** page.

# AWS Replication Agent Installer parameters


The AWS Replication Agent Installer supports the following command line parameters.

**--region**  
The region into which the installer registers the source server.

**--aws-access-key-id**  
The AWS IAM Access Key used for authenticating the installing user. If this parameter is not provided, the installer prompts for it.

**--aws-secret-access-key**  
The AWS IAM Secret Access Key tied to the AWS IAM Access Key used for authenticating the installing user. If this parameter is not provided, the installer prompts for it.

**--aws-session-token**  
The session token is generated when using [temporary credentials](credentials.md#credentials-agent-temporary) generated using AWS STS.

**--account-id**  
Use this parameter to install the DRS agent on an EC2 instance to replicate to another AWS account without any additional access key or temporary credentials. Specify the 12 digit ID of the account into which you want to replicate your source server. This action requires an EC2 instance profile with the [AWSElasticDisasterRecoveryEc2InstancePolicy ](security-iam-awsmanpol-AWSElasticDisasterRecoveryEc2InstancePolicy.md) policy, to define the account to replicate into as a [Trusted Account](trusted-accounts.md#trusted-accounts-page) and select the roles in **Failback and in-AWS right-sizing roles**. 

**--no-prompt**  
Run the installation without prompting the user.

**--devices**  
Specify exactly which disks to replicate.

**--force-volumes**  
This parameter must be used with the *--no-prompt* parameter. This parameter cancels the automatic detection of physical disks to replicate. You need to specify the exact disks to replicate using the *--devices* parameter (including the root disk, failure to specify the root disk causes replication to fail). This parameter should only be used as a troubleshooting tool if the *--devices* parameter fails to identify the disks correctly.

**--tags**  
 Use this parameter to add resource tags to the source server. Use a space to separate each tag.   

```
--tags {"Key1"="Value1" "Key2"="Value2"}
```
This flag may only be used when adding new source servers to AWS DRS. You cannot use the --tags flag to modify tags of source servers that have already been added to AWS DRS. 

**--s3-endpoint**  
Use this parameter to specify a VPC endpoint you created for S3 if you do not wish to open your firewall ports to access the default S3 endpoint. [Learn more about installing the Agent on a blocked network.](installing-agent-blocked.md)

**--endpoint**  
Use this parameter to specify the Private Link endpoint you created for Elastic Disaster Recovery if you do not wish to open your firewall ports to access the default AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery endpoint. [Learn more about installing the agent on a blocked network.](installing-agent-blocked.md)  
We do not recommend using this flag when installing the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Agent on an EC2 Instance, as it can prevent successful failback from occuring. We recommend ensuring DNS automatically resolves the `{region}.drs.amazonaws.com` entry to the Private Link endpoint rather than leveraging this parameter. 

**--install-as-recovery-instance**  
Use this parameter to add an existing AWS instance to AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery as a recovery instance. You may opt to add recovery instances if you have added additional EC2 instances to AWS and now want to recover them into source servers. You are asked to pair the newly added recovery instance with a source server during AWS Replication Agent installation.

**--proxy-address**  
 *Linux Installer only.*   
 Use this parameter to configure the agent to use a specific proxy server: `--proxy-address https://PROXY:PORT/`. Ensure the proxy configuration has the trailing forward slash (/). 

**--exclude-instance-store-volumes**  
 Use this parameter to exclude instance store volumes from replication. 

**--dualstack**  
 Use this parameter to configure the agent to use Elastic Disaster Recovery dual-stack API endpoints. When you specify this parameter, the agent communicates with Elastic Disaster Recovery through `drs.{region}.api.aws` instead of `drs.{region}.amazonaws.com`, and with Amazon S3 through `s3.dualstack.{region}.amazonaws.com` instead of `s3.{region}.amazonaws.com`.  
This parameter enables IPv6 support for API communication between the agent and AWS services, with IPv4 as a fallback. This parameter does not set the **IP version** in the replication configuration settings, which determines the Internet Protocol version used for data replication. For more information about the **IP version** setting, see [IP version](data-routing.md#ip-version).
