Starting Data Transmission

After receiving the disk, a Huawei DC administrator mounts the disk to a server. Then, you will receive an SMS message which notifies you of entering the AK/SK. Once the verification is successful, the data uploading starts.

Prerequisites

You have received an SMS message notifying you of entering the AK/SK.

Procedure

  1. Log in to DES Console.
  2. Find the order whose status is Access key (AK/SK) to be entered in the order list and click More > Enter the access key (AK/SK) in the Operation column.
  3. Fill in the dialog box with the AK/SK required for uploading data to OBS buckets. See Figure 1.

    Figure 1 Entering access keys (disk-based DES)
    • Access Key ID (AK): specifies the access key ID used when the back-end server uploads data to the OBS bucket. One AK maps to only one user.
    • Secret Access Key (SK): specifies the secret access key used when the back-end server uploads data to the OBS bucket. One SK maps to one AK, forming a key pair for accessing OBS and thereby ensuring access security.

      If you do not have any AK/SK, click the username in the upper right corner of the homepage of the management console, and click My Credentials in the drop-down list. On the My Credentials page that is displayed, click Add Access Key in the lower part of the Access Key tab page.

  4. Click OK to submit the AK/SK. After the AK/SK is successfully submitted and verified, data transmission starts.
