Importing from Object Storage

Import data from an Object Storage bucket to a File Storage with Lustre file system.

You can run only one import or export job at a time per file system. If many links belong to the same file system, their jobs can't run concurrently. However, jobs on different file systems can run at the same time.

During transfer, objects in Object Storage or files in Lustre aren't locked. If the job encounters an active file (for example, one being edited), it retries up to three times. After three failed tries, it skips that file for this run.
Note

Only update the content of a file when you're certain it isn't being imported or exported. Changing files while a sync job is in progress can lead to unexpected results, such as files being ignored or overwritten.

After you start an import, you can check its progress or cancel it at any time.

Using the Console

  1. On the Lustre file systems list page, select the file system that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing File Systems.
  2. On the file system details page, under Resources, select Object Storage links.
    All Object Storage links in the file system are displayed in a table.
  3. Select the link that you want to use to import data.
  4. From the Actions menu for the link, select Import.
  5. In the Import panel, verify the Lustre directory and Object Storage details.
  6. Select Import.
