Managing EVS Transfers
Scenarios
EVS transfer allows you to transfer disks from one account to another. After a transfer succeeds, the ownership of the disk belongs to the target account only.
Users can use disk transfer via API only. For more information, see EVS Transfer.
Notes and Constraints
- Encrypted EVS disks cannot be transferred.
- EVS disks with backups and snapshots available cannot be transferred.
- EVS disks associated with backup policies cannot be transferred.
Procedure
- transfer_id specifies the disk transfer ID. Each EVS disk transfer has a transfer ID, and user B uses this ID to accept the disk transfer. The transfer ID expires after user B accepts the transfer.
- auth_key specifies the identity authentication key of the disk transfer. Each EVS disk transfer has an authentication key, and user B uses this key for authentication when accepting the disk transfer.
- User A creates an EVS disk transfer. For details, see Creating a Disk Transfer.
After the transfer is successfully created, transfer_id and auth_key are returned.
- (Optional) User A views the disk transfer. For details, see Querying Details of a Disk Transfer. If multiple disk transfers have been created, user A can query all disk transfers. For details, see Querying All Disk Transfers or Querying Details of All Disk Transfers.
- User A delivers the returned transfer_id and auth_key to user B.
- Check whether user B is going to accept the disk transfer.
- If yes, go to 5.
- If no, no further action is required.
User A can delete the unaccepted disk transfer. For details, see Deleting a Disk Transfer.
- User B accepts transfer_id and auth_key.
- User B accepts the transfer through transfer_id and auth_key. For details, see Accepting a Disk Transfer.
