Installing the AWS Transform MGN vCenter Client for Agentless Replication on vCenter source environments

AWS Transform MGN allows you to perform agentless snapshot replication from your vCenter source environment into AWS. This is achieved by installing the MGN vCenter Client in your vCenter environment. MGN recommends using agent-based replication when possible, as it supports CDP (Continuous Data Protection) and provides the shortest cutover window. Agentless replication should be used when your company’s policies prevent you from installing the AWS Replication Agent on each individual server.

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure that you have initialized AWS Transform MGN.
