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 service order successfully, a Huawei DC sends a Teleport to you to transmit the local data to the cloud.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Select a DC based on your plan. You can select a DC nearby. See Figure 1.
   Figure 1 Selecting a DC
   

3. Choose Service List > Storage > Data Express Service to access DES Console.
4. Click Buy DES. The page for creating an order is displayed.
5. Enter Transmission Information. Choose By Teleport as the transmission mode. Set mandatory parameters marked with an asterisk (*). See Figure 2.
   Figure 2 Setting transmission information
   
   • Teleport Specifications: The capacity options of a single Teleport are 60 TB and 120 TB. If the data volume exceeds 120 TB, you can create more than one Teleport-based order.
   • Object Type: Select Small file, Common file, or Ultra-large file based on the size of data files to be transmitted.
   • Object Quantity: Estimate the number of data files to be transmitted and select a level accordingly.
   • Handling Duplicate Files: Specify the method of handling duplicate files to be uploaded in the same bucket. If you select Skip, the original file is retained. If you select Overwrite, the original file is replaced by the file that is being transferred.
   • (Optional) Source Data: Enter the file name or folder name to be copied to the root directory of the Teleport. If you enter a file name, the file is transmitted to the specified 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 files 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 file or folder, click Add to add more text boxes. For example, if there are two folders, file01 and file02, 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 different destination buckets for them. Later, you can copy the two folders to the Teleport for data classification.

   

   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 specified, your data is directly imported to the destination bucket.
     

     A maximum of 10 Source Data or Import Directory can be created.

6. Select a delivery address. When creating a service order for the first time, you need to add a delivery address for receiving the Teleport sent by a Huawei DC. See Figure 3.
   Figure 3 Adding a delivery address
   
   • Contact: Enter the name of the contact person.
   • Delivery Address: Enter the district, city, and province of the contact person.
   • Address Details: Enter more information about the address, such as the street name and house number.
   • Mobile Number: Enter the mobile number of the contact person.
   • SMS Verification Code: Click Get Code to obtain the verification code.
     

     You can create up to five delivery addresses.

7. Confirm the service order information. Click Buy Now and then click OK in the displayed dialog box. The service order confirmation page is displayed. See Figure 4.

   You can download the signature file here by clicking Download Signature File, or you can download it in the service list of DES Console.

You only need to upload AK/SK once for a service order. After the service order is created, in the service order list, click More > Enter the access key (AK/SK) in the Operation column. See How Do I Manage Access Keys? to obtain the latest pair of AK and SK.
