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.

Step 2.2: Setting Transmission Information
1. Select Import and By Teleport and specify the transmission information and contact information.
2. Click Buy Now.
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.

Step 2.4: Confirming Successful Service Order Submission
1. A message is displayed, indicating that the service order is submitted successfully.
2. You can also view the service order status by clicking View Service Order List.
Note
1. After a service order is created successfully, the status of the service order is Order under review. In different operation phases, the service order may be in different states. Click here to view the detailed service order statuses.
2. When the service order is in the Order under review state, you can modify, cancel, or delete the service order by selecting corresponding options under More in the Operation column.

Step 2.5: Downloading the Signature File
You can download the signature file on the page indicating that the order is submitted successfully or on the service order list.
Note
A signature file is the unique identifier of the Teleport in the service order, ensuring that data in the Teleport can be uploaded as instructed in the corresponding order. After downloading a signature file, save it to the root directory of the Teleport.

Step 3: Receiving and Copying Data to the Teleport
1. Unpack the device.
2. Connect cables and Power on the device.
3. Copy data.
4. Power off and pack the device.
Note
1. After the service order submitted by the customer is approved, the Teleport will be received soon. After receiving the Teleport, the customer needs to perform the preceding five steps to copy local data to the Teleport.
2. After data is copied, the customer needs to download and import the signature file to the root directory of the Teleport shared file system.
