2. Install Replication Agents
Install Replication Agent on all servers in Wave 1
1. Same as previous step. On the Migration Factory console, select Jobs on the left hand side menu, and select Actions, and then Run Automation on the right hand side
2. Enter Job Name, select 1-Install MGN Agents script and automation-server.WORKGROUP as your automation server to run the script.
3. Select Linux Secrets, this is the secrets name you created previously, and select Wave 1. Finally click Submit Automation Job
4. You will be redirected to the Job list page, the job status should be running, and you can click refresh button after about 1 minute to see the status.
The entire script might take up to 10 minutes to finish agent installation, you might not see status update from the scripts until installation is complete
As an alternative to check real time status, you can login to AWS Console, switch to AWS Application Migration Service. Select Source Servers on the left hand side, you should see servers being added to the list one by one.
5. Finally, job will be completed. Job status should change to COMPLETE, and you can see the details in the Log section
9. Migration factory should have also received status update from the script. If necessary, refresh screen.
Right after installing Replication agents, the replication will start immediately.
Automation tip: Batch Replication agent installation aligned with the migration waves. Automate agent installation and give enough time in advance for the servers to finish the initial replication.
