Migrating Through Disk-Based DES

Disk-based Data Express Service (DES) allows users to deliver data disks (such as USB flash drives and eSATA disks) to a data center of HUAWEI CLOUD, achieving efficient data transmission. Disk-based DES is suitable for migrating data less than 30 TB.

  1. Creating an OBS bucket

    Create a bucket on OBS Console or OBS Browser+ for storing data.

  2. Creating a disk-based DES order

    Log in to DES Console and create a disk-based DES order. Import the provided signature file to a local data disk and send the disk to a HUAWEI CLOUD data center.

  3. Starting data transmission

    After receiving the disk, a HUAWEI CLOUD data center administrator mounts the disk to a physical server. Then you will receive an SMS message to notify you of inputting the access keys (AK and SK) to start data uploading. After data transmission is complete, you can view the transmission result on DES Console or OBS Console. The HUAWEI CLOUD data center will send your disk back afterwards.
