Creating a Batch Object Storage Migration Workflow
This section describes how to create a workflow to efficiently migrate buckets in batches.
Constraints
- For more information, see What Are the Restrictions on Using MgC for Storage Migration?
- Data in the Deep Cold Archive storage of Alibaba Cloud OSS cannot be restored using the restoration function of MgC. You need to manually restore the data before migration.
- Microsoft Azure Blob does not support automatic archiving of restored data. If needed, you can manually archive the data after the migration is complete.
Prerequisites
A batch object storage migration plan has been created for the source buckets to be migrated.
Procedure
- Sign in to the MgC console. In the navigation pane, under Project, select an application migration project from the drop-down list.
- In the navigation pane, choose Migration Workflows (NEW).
- On the Workflows tab, click Create Workflow to open the Select Creation Method page.
- Select the created batch object storage migration plan from the Migration Plan drop-down list. Then click OK. Incomplete migration plans cannot be selected. For details about how to create a migration plan, see Creating a Batch Object Storage Migration Plan.
- In the Basic Information area, enter a name and description for the workflow.
- In the Resource Settings and Migration Settings areas, check whether the resource and migration settings inherited from the selected migration plan meet your requirements. If you need to modify these settings, click Modify Migration Plan in the lower right corner of the page and update the migration plan settings.
- Confirm the settings and click Create Workflow in the lower right corner of the page. The Start Workflow dialog box is displayed, which indicates that the workflow has been created.
- If you want to start the migration immediately, click Confirm to run the workflow.
- If you want to save the migration workflow without starting the migration, click Cancel. The migration workflow will move to a Waiting status, and the migration has not started yet. To run the workflow, click Run in the Operation column to manually start the migration. If you need to add checkpoints to the workflow to control the migration process, see Adding a Stage or Step.
- In the workflow list, click the workflow name. On the Workflow Details page, you can review the workflow status, progress, and migration progress of the resources contained in the workflow.
When the workflow on a resource reaches a step requiring manual confirmation, choose More > Confirm in the Operation column, or click the resource name. In the displayed page, click Confirm. The workflow will then continue with the remaining migration steps.
In the resource list, click More > View Target Resource in the Operation column to view details about the target bucket.
- Click a resource name. On the page displayed on the right, you can view the Migration Progress and Historical Tasks tabs. You can also perform the following operations:
