Zorluk: ZorConfigure Azure Data Box and Import/Export Services

An administrator needs to import 22 TB22\text{ TB} of data from an on-premises Windows file server to an Azure storage account. The target destination is an Azure Files share. Due to limited WAN bandwidth, the administrator decides to use the Azure Import/Export service to ship physical hard drives to an Azure datacenter.

Which of the following processes must the administrator use to prepare the hard drives and configure the import job?

  1. Format the drives as NTFS, run the WAImportExport V2 tool on a local Windows machine using the storage account access key to copy the data and encrypt the drives with BitLocker, and upload the generated journal (.jrn) files when creating the import job in the Azure portal.Cevap
  2. B
    Format the drives as NTFS, copy the data directly, and configure Azure File Sync cloud tiering endpoints on the drives so that the data is automatically synced to the Azure Files share once the drives are physically connected at the Azure datacenter.
  3. C
    Format the drives as NTFS, run the WAImportExport V2 tool, and temporarily disable the 'Allow trusted Microsoft services to access this storage account' setting in the storage account firewall to permit the Azure datacenter staff to write the data.
  4. D
    Format the drives as NTFS, run the WAImportExport V2 tool without the storage account access key, and rely on having the Owner role at the resource group level to authorize the drive preparation and data upload.

Cevap

Format the drives as NTFS, run the WAImportExport V2 tool on a local Windows machine using the storage account access key to copy the data and encrypt the drives with BitLocker, and upload the generated journal (.jrn) files when creating the import job in the Azure portal.
The correct process for importing data into Azure Files using the Import/Export service requires formatting the drives as NTFS and running the WAImportExport V2 tool on a local Windows machine. The tool uses the storage account access key to copy the data, encrypts the drives with BitLocker, and generates journal (.jrn) files. These journal files must then be uploaded to Azure when creating the import job to allow the Azure datacenter to decrypt and ingest the data.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Format the physical SATA hard drives as NTFS using a local Windows machine.
The drives are prepared with the required file system for the Azure Import/Export service.
Azure Import/Export only supports NTFS-formatted drives for Windows-based data prep.
2
Run the WAImportExport V2 tool, specifying the source path, destination Azure Files share, and the storage account access key.
The data is copied to the drives, the drives are encrypted using BitLocker, and journal (.jrn) files are generated.
WAImportExport version 2 is specifically designed for Azure Files import. The storage account access key is needed to authenticate and encrypt the drives.
3
Create an import job in the Azure portal and upload the generated journal (.jrn) files.
The import job is configured and transition details (like shipping carrier tracking info) are provided.
Azure uses the journal files to identify the drives, decrypt them, and copy the files to the correct target share.

Anahtar Kavram

Drive preparation and prerequisite handling using the WAImportExport tool for Azure Files imports via the Import/Export service.
