Define Edge Server Input File (Office Communications Server 2007 Migration)

 

Topic Last Modified: 2011-04-06

In Office Communications Server 2007, Edge Server information is not stored in Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI); because of that, the Merge-CsLegacyTopology cmdlet cannot retrieve information about your Edge Servers. If you have Office Communications Server 2007 Edge Servers that need to be migrated, then you must create a custom XML file that contains your legacy Edge Server information. To do so, we recommend that you copy the code in the attached sample, and modify the relevant parameters to match your deployment. A copy of this code (input.xml) is included in the Migration folder. For a detailed explanation on the parameters and details about authoring an Edge Server Input File, see Create a Custom Edge Server Input File (Office Communications Server 2007 Migration).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TopologyInput xmlns = "urn:schema:Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Deploy.LegacyUserInput.2008"  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<EdgeClusters>
   <EdgeCluster AP="true" MR="false" DP="false" Version="OCS2007" FederationEnabled="true">
   <LoadBalancer InternalFqdn="edgeint.fqdn" ExternalDPFqdn="externalDP.fqdn" />
   <Machines>
      <Machine InternalFqdn = "node1.fqdn"/>
      <Machine InternalFqdn = "anothernode1.fqdn"/>
   </Machines>
   <Ports InternalAPPort="5061" />
   <DirectorOrEdgeNextHop Fqdn="director.fqdn.com" IsDirector="true" />
   </EdgeCluster>
</EdgeClusters>
   <RegistrarClusterPort EnableAutoDiscoveryOfPorts = "false" Port="5061" /> 
</TopologyInput>

For a Consolidated Edge Server

Edit the input.xml file mentioned in the previous section and make the following changes:

  • Replace edgeint.fqdn with the Office Communications Server 2007 Edge Server internal fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

  • Replace externalDP.fqdn with the Office Communications Server 2007 Edge Server external Data Proxy FQDN

  • Replace node1.fqdn with the Office Communications Server 2007 Edge Server internal FQDN

  • Replace anothernode1.fqdn with the additional Office Communications Server 2007 Edge Server internal FQDN

  • Replace director.fqdn.com with the Director or user pool that is the next hop from the Office Communications Server 2007 Edge Server

  • Set AP=True, MR=false, DP = false
