Scenario 1: Requesting for Teleport-based DES

  • Teleport is a storage device customized by Huawei for TB- or PB-scale data migration.

  • Teleport-based DES is a data transmission mode of DES.

  • This document uses the data migration of a technology company as an example to describe how to use the Teleport-based DES.

Step 1: Creating a Bucket

1. Log in to HUAWEI CLOUD console. Choose Storage > Object Storage Service.
2. On OBS Console, click Create Bucket.
3. Configure basic information for the bucket.

Note

1. Before creating a DES order, create a bucket on OBS.
2. User data is stored in OBS buckets.

Note

1. (Optional) Teleport File: specifies the name of the folder to be copied to the root directory of the Teleport. Data in this folder will all be transmitted to the specified destination bucket or directory. If this parameter is not specified, all data is copied to one destination bucket. In this example, customer data is stored in the test-folder1 and test-folder2 folders. Therefore, the customer needs to click Add to add a row.
2. Destination Bucket: specifies the bucket to which data is transmitted. If a destination bucket does not exist, click Create Bucket to create one. Try again after the bucket is created.
3. (Optional) Import Directory: specifies the directory for storing data to be transferred to the destination bucket. If this parameter is not specified, user data is directly imported to the destination bucket.
4. Add Delivery Address: To create a new address, you need to enter information including the Contact, Delivery Address, Address Details, Mobile Number, and SMS Verification Code.
