This topic describes how to prepare for a migration task.

Create a destination bucket

  • If you want to migrate data to Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS), you must create a destination bucket to store the migrated data. For more information, see Create buckets.

  • If you want to migrate data to Cloud Parallel File Storage (CPFS) for Lingjun, skip this operation.

Create a RAM user and grant permissions to the RAM user

Note

Use your Alibaba Cloud account to create a Resource Access Management (RAM) user and grant permissions to the RAM user.

  1. Log on to the RAM console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Identities > Users.

  3. On the Users page, click Create User.

  4. In the User Account Information section on the Create User page, configure the Logon Name and Display Name parameters.

  5. In the Access Mode section, select Console Access and Open API Access. Then, save the generated logon name, password, AccessKey ID, and AccessKey secret.

    • Console Access: If you select this option, you must configure the console password, password reset settings, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) settings.

    • OpenAPI Access: If you select this option, an AccessKey pair is automatically created for the RAM user. The RAM user can call API operations or use other development tools to access Alibaba Cloud resources.

    Note

    Keep the generated logon name, password, AccessKey ID, and AccessKey secret safe.

  6. After the RAM user is created, go to the Users page. Find the RAM user that you created and click Add Permissions in the Actions column to grant the RAM user the AliyunOSSFullAccess permissions.

  7. In the left-side navigation pane, click Overview.

  8. On the Overview page, navigate to the Basic Information section and click the link next to Login URL. On the page that appears, enter the logon name and password of the RAM user to log on to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console.
