Example DM to DM system workflow

This section describes the high-level steps that are required to set up and perform a Datamover (DM) to Datamover data transfer from source to target PowerScale OneFS clusters.

About this task

Prerequisites

You must configure the CA and Identity certificates prior to performing these data transfer steps.

Steps

  1. Create a Datamover account.
    isi dm accounts create DM dm://<IP or FQDN> <name>
  2. View a list of accounts.
    isi dm accounts list
  3. Create a CREATION policy. You will run the policy later. Note that the --creation-account-id is the DM Local Account.
    isi dm policies create <name> NORMAL true CREATION --creation-account-id=<DM_Local_Account> --creation-base-path=<str> \
    --creation-dataset-retention-period=3600 --creation-dataset-reserve=2 --creation-dataset-expiry-action=DELETE
  4. View Datamover policies.
    isi dm policies list
  5. Create a Datamover COPY policy.
    isi dm policies create <name> NORMAL true COPY --copy-source-base-path=<str> --copy-create-dataset-on-target=true \
    --copy-base-base-account-id=<DM Local Account> --copy-base-source-account-id=<DM_Local_Account> \
    --copy-base-target-account-id=<Datamover_Account_ID> --copy-base-target-base-path=<str> \
    --copy-base-target-dataset-type=FILE --copy-base-dataset-retention-period=3600 \
    --copy-base-dataset-reserve=2 --copy-base-policy-dataset-expiry-action=DELETE
  6. View Datamover policies.
    isi dm policies list
  7. Run the CREATION policy.
    isi dm policies modify <CREATION_policy_id> --run-now=true
  8. List the running jobs.
    isi dm jobs list
  9. Run the COPY policy.
    isi dm policies modify <COPY_policy_id> --run-now=true
  10. List the running jobs.
    isi dm jobs list
  11. List the job state.
    isi dm historical-jobs list
  12. List the datasets.
    isi dm datasets list
  13. Example of chaining a COPY policy with a dataset CREATION policy.
    isi dm policies create test-copy-chaining NORMAL true COPY --copy-source-base-path=/ifs/data/src \
    --copy-base-target-base-path=/ifs/data/test2-tgt --copy-create-dataset-on-target=true \
    --copy-base-source-account-id=local --copy-base-target-account-id=local --copy-base-target-dataset-type=FILE \
    --copy-base-dataset-retention-period=3600 --copy-base-policy-dataset-expiry-action=DELETE --parent-exec-policy-id=31744
    
  14. View Datamover policies.
    isi dm policies view <policy_id>
