Workload Import & Migration
Each Trilio Workload has a dedicated owner. The ownership of a Workload is defined by:
Openstack User - The Openstack User-ID is assigned to a Workload
Openstack Project - The Openstack Project-ID is assigned to a Workload
Openstack Cloud - The Trilio Serviceuser-ID is assigned to a Workload
Openstack Users can update the User ownership of a Workload by modifying the Workload.
This ownership secures, that only the owners of a Workload are able to work with it.
Openstack Administrators can reassign Workloads or reimport Workloads from older Trilio installations.
Import workloads
Workload import allows to import Workloads existing on the Backup Target into the Trilio database.
The Workload import is designed to import Workloads, which are owned by the Cloud.
It will not import or list any Workloads that are owned by a different cloud.
To get a list of importable Workloads use the following CLI command:
To import Workloads into the Trilio database use the following CLI command:
Orphaned Workloads
The definition of an orphaned Workload is from the perspective of a specific Trilio installation. Any workload that is located on the Backup Target Storage, but not known to the TrilioVualt installation is considered orphaned.
Further is to divide between Workloads that were previously owned by Projects/Users in the same cloud or are migrated from a different cloud.
The following CLI command provides the list of orphaned workloads:
Running this command against a Backup Target with many Workloads can take a bit of time. Trilio is reading the complete Storage and verifies every found Workload against the Workloads known in the database.
Reassigning Workloads
Openstack administrators are able to reassign a Workload to a new owner. This involves the possibility to migrate a Workload from one cloud to another or between projects.
Reassigning a workload only changes the database of the target Trilio installation. When the Workload was managed before by a different Trilio installation, will that installation not be updated.
Use the following CLI command to reassign a Workload:
