Prepare a data broker to sync data between object storage

If you're planning to sync data from object storage to object storage (for example, Amazon S3 to Azure Blob), then you need to prepare the data broker group before you create the sync relationship.

About this task

To prepare the data broker group, you'll need to modify the configuration of the scanner. If you don't modify the configuration, you might notice performance issues for this sync relationship.

Before you begin

The data broker group that you use to sync data from object storage to object storage should only manage these types of sync relationships. If the data broker group manages a different type of sync relationship (for example, NFS to NFS or object storage to SMB), then the performance of those sync relationships might be negatively affected.

Steps

  1. From BlueXP copy and sync, select Manage Data Brokers.

  2. Select A screenshot of the settings icon

  3. Update the scanner configuration:

    1. Change Scanner Concurrency to 1.

    2. Change Scanner Processes Limit to 1.

  4. Select Unify Configuration.

Result

BlueXP copy and sync updates the configuration of the data broker group.

What's next?

You can now create the sync relationship between object storage using the data broker group that you just configured.
