Migrating File Systems in Batches

Constraints

See What Are the Restrictions on Using MgC for Storage Migration?

Preparations

• Preparing a Huawei account

  Before using MgC, prepare a HUAWEI ID or an IAM user that can access MgC. For details, see Preparations.

• Creating an application migration project

  Create a migration project on the MgC console. For details, see Managing Migration Projects. Set Project Type to Application migration.

• Creating file systems.

  Create target file systems for receiving migrated source data. For details, see Creating a File System or Creating an SFS Turbo File System.

Step 1: Create a Migration Cluster

You can create dedicated migration clusters to accelerate storage migration. A migration cluster consists of nodes that have the migration plugin installed and are used to execute migration and listing tasks. Create a dedicated migration cluster for this migration. For details, see Creating a Cluster.

Step 2: Create a File Storage Migration Plan

Create a migration plan to include all the source file systems that you want to move to the same target region. In the plan, configure a target file system for each source file system and specify the migration cluster to be used. For details, see Creating a Batch File Storage Migration Plan.

Step 3: Create a Migration Workflow

When you create a migration workflow, select the migration plan you created and define the migration settings. For details, see Creating a Batch File Storage Migration Workflow.
