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

• Source
  • If the migration source is Huawei Cloud, check whether the source account has an AK/SK pair and the permissions to list buckets, obtain bucket locations, list objects, obtain object metadata, and obtain object content. If it does not have, create an AK/SK pair and assign it the required permissions by referring to Creating an Access Key (AK/SK) and Obtaining Permissions for the Source Account.
  • If the migration source is another public cloud, create an AK/SK pair and obtain permissions by referring to "Preparing for Migration" in Migration from Other Clouds to Huawei Cloud.

• Destination

  Create an AK/SK pair and obtain permissions by referring to 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 Archived Data in the Source Bucket

If there is archived data in the source bucket, restore the data before the migration. For details, see Archived Migrating Archived Data.
