You are advised to select a Huawei DC nearby and create a Teleport-based order.

Unpack and congure the device after receiving the Teleport from a Huawei DC.

A signature le is the unique identier of the Teleport in a service order. Before returning the Teleport, you must store the signature le in the teleportshare root directory.

After all local data has been transmitted to the Teleport, power it o and pack it.

Send the Teleport back to the Huawei DC. The Teleport storage system that is sent back must contain the signature

le.

Starting data transmission

Viewing the data transmission result

Data upload starts after the administrator mounts the Teleport to a server and after you input the AK and SK.

After data transmission is complete, you can download the generated data transmission report to check whether all data is successfully uploaded.

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.

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.

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