1.3 Creating a Bucket

Object Storage Service (OBS) is a stable, secure, ffic n and easy-to-use cloud storage service. It provides highly reliable storage capabilities at low costs. With OBS, you can easily create, modify, and delete buckets, as well as upload, download, and delete objects. An object is the basic unit of data storage on OBS. It consists of object data and object metadata that describes object properties. A bucket is a virtual container used to store objects on OBS.

Data transmitted through DES is stored as objects in buckets. Therefore, you need to create a bucket for storing data before using DES. For details about how to create a bucket, see Creating a Bucket.

1.4 Creating a Teleport-based DES Order

Background

If a large amount of data (hundreds of TB or PB) needs to be transmitted, you can create a Teleport-based order. After you submit the order successfully, a Huawei DC sends a Teleport to you to transmit the local data to the cloud.

Procedure

Step 1 Log in to the management console.

Step 2 Choose Service List > Storage > Data Express Service to access DES Console.

Step 3 Select a DC based on your plan. You can select a DC nearby. See Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2 Selecting a DC for the Teleport-based DES

Step 4 Click Buy DES. The page for creating an order is displayed.

Step 5 Enter Transmission Information. Choose By Teleport as the transmission mode. Set mandatory parameters marked with an asterisk (*). See Figure 1-3.

Figure 1-3 Setting transmission information

●	Teleport	: The capacity of a single Teleport is 60 TB. If the data
	volume exceeds 60 TB, you can apply for more than one Teleport.
●	Object Type: Select Small		, Common	, or Ultra-large		based on
	the size of data fi	to be transmitted.
●	Object Quantity: Estimate the number of data fi				to be transmitted and
	select a level accordingly from Level 1 to Level 4. The larger the number, the
	more fi are to be transmitted.
●	Handling Duplicate Files: Specify the method of handling duplicate fi						to
	be uploaded in the same bucket. If you select Skip, the original fi					is
	retained. If you select Overwrite, the original fi				is replaced by the fi		that is
	being transferred.
●	(Optional) Source Data: Enter the fi name or folder name to be copied to
	the root directory of the Teleport. If you enter a fi				name, the fi	is
	transmitted to the	c fi	destination bucket. If you enter a folder name, all
	data in the folder is transmitted to the destination bucket. If you leave Source

Data blank, all fi	in the Teleport are transmitted to the destination bucket
by default.

You can enter only one name in a text box. If you want to transmit more than one fi or folder, click Add to add more text boxes. For example, if there are two folders, 01 and 02, in the directory for storing data to be uploaded, you can enter the names of the two folders in two Source Data boxes and select ff n destination buckets for them. Later, you can copy the two folders to the Teleport for data c fic n

NOTE

A folder name cannot start with a dot (.) or contain any of the following characters: \/:*? "<>|

●Destination Bucket: Click the folder icon next to Destination Bucket and select the destination bucket for Teleport-based data transmission. If there is no destination bucket, click Create Bucket to create one and refresh. You can also log in to Console, select Object Storage Service to create a bucket, and then refresh the destination bucket.

●(Optional) Import Directory: Click the folder icon next to Import Directory

and select the directory to which the data is to be imported. You can also enter a custom directory name. The backstage saves the data in this directory. If this parameter is not c fi your data is directly imported to the destination bucket.

NOTE

A maximum of 10 Disk File or Import Directory can be created.

Step 6 Select a delivery address. When creating an order for the fi time, you need to add a delivery address for receiving the Teleport sent by a Huawei DC. See Figure 1-4.

1.5.1 Unpacking Teleport

Checking Before Unpacking

After receiving a Teleport sent by a Huawei DC, check whether the appearance of the device is intact and ensure that the lock, handle, and pulley work normally.

Issue 01 (2019-04-30)

Check whether the unpacking guide attached on the shell of the Teleport is complete and the characters are legible. If there is any damage, return the device to the Huawei DC. nfi m that the device is intact and then sign for acceptance.

Prerequisites

●You have obtained the username and password sent through an SMS message for opening the Teleport.

●You have received the Teleport. Determine the Teleport model based on the

following fi	The unpacking method varies depending on the Teleport
model.

Unpacking Teleport V1

Step 1 Place the Teleport equipment container on the ground with the touchscreen facing upward. This ensures that the unlocking of the physical lock is not ff c and the protective cover on the side of the box can be opened easily. Figure 1-7 shows the Teleport equipment container.
