Importing from Object Storage

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

You can import data concurrently with other import or export jobs on the same Lustre file system when each job uses a different Object Storage link. Only one job can run at a time for a given link. If a job is already running for the selected link, the import request is rejected.

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

Wait until the sync job (import or export) is finished before you add, remove, move, rename, or edit any files or folders inside the folder being synced. 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.
