Step 1: Download and Install Edge

Edge is a migration tool provided by MgC. It is used to discover source resources and execute migration commands from MgC.

Procedure

  1. Prepare a Windows server in the source intranet environment and install Edge on the server. For details about the requirements for the server and how to install Edge, see Installing Edge for Windows.

    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.

  2. Register an account for loging into Edge and connect Edge to MgC. For details, see Connecting the Edge Device to MgC.
  3. After the connection is successful, add the credentials of the source servers to be migrated to Edge. For details, see Adding Resource Credentials. Correctly configure Resource Type based on the source servers when you add their credentials.
