What Are the Requirements on the Server for Installing Edge?

The Windows server for installing Edge must:
  • Be able to access the Internet and the domain names of MgC and IoTDA. For details about the domain names to be accessed, see How Do I Configure WinRM on a Windows Source Server and Troubleshoot WinRM Connection Problems?
  • Use PowerShell 3.0 or later.
  • Have at least 4 CPUs and 8 GB of memory.
  • Allow outbound traffic on 8883 if the server is in a security group.
  • Disable any antivirus and protection software on the server. This type of software may stop Edge from executing migration commands, resulting in migration failures.

Do not install Edge on a source server to be migrated.

  • High resource consumption: Edge consumes CPU and memory resources during collection and migration. If a large number of migration tasks are performed by Edge, services on the source server may be affected.
  • Port occupation: Edge occupies some ports on the source server, which may affect services on the server.
