1.3 Creating a Bucket

Object Storage Service (OBS) is a stable, secure, 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.

Data Express Service User Guide 1 Detailed Instructions on Using Teleport

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 Specications: 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 le, Common le, or Ultra-large le based on the size of data

les to be transmitted.

● Object Quantity: Estimate the number of data les to be transmitted and select a level accordingly from Level 1 to Level 4. The larger the number, the

les are to be transmitted.

● Handling Duplicate Files: Specify the method of handling duplicate les to be uploaded in the same bucket. If you select Skip, the original le is retained. If you select Overwrite, the original

le is replaced by the le that is

being transferred.

● (Optional) Source Data: Enter the le name or folder name to be copied to the root directory of the Teleport. If you enter a le name, the le is transmitted to the

specied 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 les 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 le or folder, click Add to add more text boxes. For example, if there are two folders, le01 and le02, 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

dierent destination buckets for them. Later, you can copy

the two folders to the Teleport for data classication.

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

specied, your data is directly imported to the

destination bucket.

1.5.2 Conguring the Management Network Connection

After the Teleport is unpacked, you can nd the power button and indicators on the front and the cable ports for the controller closure on the rear. Connect the Teleport with the maintenance terminal through the management network port to build up the management channel. Then, you can manage and maintain the storage device using the maintenance terminal.

In Figure 1-8, network port 1 is the management network port. Generally, you only need to connect the cable to the management network port for the management

conguration.

1.5.3 Conguring the Service Network Connection

Connect the GE or 10GE electrical ports on the controller enclosure to the application server with a common network cable or an optical ber to build up a service channel. After the channel is established, the Teleport can exchange data with the application server.

Figure 1-9 and Figure 1-10 show the connections of GE electrical ports and 10GE

electrical ports on the Teleport. You can use common network cables or optical bers to connect a Teleport to your application server.

1.5.4 Powering On the Device

After the cable connection, power on the Teleport to check the running status. To power on the storage system, press the power button. If the power indicator of the controller enclosure is blinking green, the storage system is powered on.

Figure 1-11 and Table 1-2 describe the normal statuses of the indicators after the

system has been powered on.

NO TICE

Data Express Service User Guide 1 Detailed Instructions on Using Teleport

● Before powering on the storage system, ensure that all cables are correctly connected. The storage system may work improperly if the cable connections are changed after the storage system is powered on.

● For a storage system with two controllers, if you power on the system for the rst time or power on the system after clearing the system conguration, ensure that controller A is in the controller enclosure and properly connected. Otherwise, the storage system will fail to be powered on.

● To avoid system data loss, do not remove or insert optical bers, network cables, system.

● Do not press and hold the power button. If you hold down the power button for more than 5 seconds, the storage system will be powered o.

● It takes 15 to 30 minutes for the storage system to be powered on.

If you enter a folder name, all data in the folder is transmitted to the destination bucket. If you leave Disk File blank, all les in the disk 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

le or folder, click Add and type them into the newly added text boxes.

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 disk-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.
