Preparing for Migration

Before using OMS to migrate data, make preparations by referring to this section.

Registering a HUAWEI ID

Real-name authentication is required for migrations to regions within the Chinese mainland.

Creating Access Keys for the Source and Destination Accounts and Obtaining the Required Permissions

Source (Microsoft Azure):
1. On the Azure portal, click Storage accounts and select the storage account that owns the data you want to migrate.
2. Under Security+networking, select Access keys. Your account access keys appear, as well as the complete connection string for each key.
3. Select Show keys to show your access keys and connection strings and to enable buttons to copy the values.
  You can use either of the two keys to access Azure Storage, but in general it is a good practice to use the first key, and reserve the use of the second key for when you are rotating keys.
Destination (Huawei Cloud): Create an AK/SK pair for the destination account and obtain the required permissions. For more information, see Creating an Access Key (AK/SK) and Destination Permissions.

Creating a Destination OBS Bucket

Create an OBS bucket for storing the migrated data. For details, see Creating a Bucket.

Restoring Archive Data in the Source Bucket

You need to restore data of the Archive storage class before you migrate it. Otherwise, the migration will take a long time. For details about how to restore archived data in Azure Blob Storage, see Migrating Archived Data in Azure Blob Storage.
