Mount a Data Transport Micro device to a compute node - Data Transport

Before you create and run a data migration task, you must mount a Data Transport Micro device to a compute node that is prepared for data migration. You can also use other migration tools to migrate data to the Data Transport Micro device. This topic describes how to mount a Data Transport Micro device to a compute node.

Important

This document applies to both the single-time lease and long-term lease methods of a Data Transport Micro device.

Procedure

Linux operating system

Log on to the compute node for data migration as a root user.
Run the following command to view the shared folder of the Data Transport Micro device. Replace Service IP address with the actual value.
showmount -e <Service IP address>
In this example, the filedata folder is used.
Run the following command to create a mount target. Replace Mount directory with the actual value.
mkdir /mnt/<Mount directory>
Run the following command to mount the Data Transport Micro device to the compute node. Replace Service IP address and Mount directory with the actual values.
mount <Service IP address>:/filedata /mnt/<Mount directory>/
Run the following command to check the mount result:
df -h
If an output similar to the following example appears, the Data Transport Micro device is mounted.

Windows operating system

Right-click This PC and choose Map network drive.
In the Map Network Drive dialog box, configure the Folder parameter based on the following format and click Finish. Replace Service IP address with the actual value.
\\<Service IP address>\filedata
In the Enter network credentials dialog box that appears, enter the username and password of the Data Transport Micro device provided by Alibaba Cloud.
View the mount result in This PC. If the information is displayed in the Network locations section, the Data Transport Micro device is mounted.

If a message indicating that security policies prevent unauthenticated guest access appears when you create a network drive mapping, perform the following operations:

Press Win+R to open the Run dialog box.
Enter GPEDIT.MSC and click OK to enable Local Group Policy Editor.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Lanman Workstation.
In the Setting section of the Lanman Workstation dialog box, double-click Enable insecure guest logons.
On the left side of the Enable insecure guest logons dialog box, select Enabled.
Click OK and try to create a network drive mapping again.
