Importing cloud objects exported through an old version of Cloud data sharing

Use the following procedure for situations where you export files to the cloud storage tier by using Cloud services 4.2.3.x (before upgrade) and then want to import those files by using Cloud services 5.2.1 (after upgrade).

  1. If the container includes migrated files, clean up the associated fileset or file system objects from the container.
  2. Run the following command to delete the container pair set that is associated with the container in the new version of Transparent cloud tiering:
    mmcloudgateway containerPairSet delete
  3. Run the following command to create a Cloud data sharing service by using the following command:
    mmcloudgateway cloudService create
  4. Use the sharing service that is created in the previous step and run the following command. Running this command creates a container pair set that points to the same container name as the container in the previous version of Transparent cloud tiering:
    mmcloudgateway containerPairSet create
    Note: You need to include the following parameters while you create a container pair set when encryption is enabled in the older release:
    • KeyManagerName
    • ActiveKey
  5. Run the following command to import the files:
    mmcloudgateway files import
