Follow the steps below for [Entering Source Bucket Information](/v1/docs/clone-3-entering-bucket-information-for-cloud-migration-in-wcsm#entering-source-bucket-information) and [Entering Target Bucket Information](/v1/docs/clone-3-entering-bucket-information-for-cloud-migration-in-wcsm#entering-target-bucket-information). Once complete, contact your WCSM Support Engineer. Wasabi will begin migration based on an agreed-upon schedule. ## Entering Source Bucket Information 1. Click **Storage**. 2. Click **Create Storage**. 3. Enter the following information. For more information about each required field, click![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/info tooltip.png)to view the available tooltips. - Name—Provide a unique name for the storage object (for example, AcmeSourceBucket). - Account—Click the drop-down to select your WCSM account. - Scope—Click the drop-down to select the scope (the restricted access and role for a specific account). 4.

Once complete, continue to Step 6. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/source bucket info.png) - [Specifying Source Information for Wasabi and Amazon S3 (AWS)](/v1/docs/clone-3-entering-bucket-information-for-cloud-migration-in-wcsm#specifying-source-information-for-wasabi) - [Specifying Source Information for Azure Blob Storage](/v1/docs/clone-3-entering-bucket-information-for-cloud-migration-in-wcsm#specifying-source-information-for-azure-blob-storage) - [Specifying Source Information for Google Cloud Storage (GCP) or Custom S3](/v1/docs/clone-3-entering-bucket-information-for-cloud-migration-in-wcsm#specifying-source-information-for-google-cloud-storage-gcp) 6. Click the drop-down to select the source bucket credentials (created in [2—Entering Credentials for Cloud Migration in WCSM](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/entering-credentials-for-cloud-migration#entering-source-bucket-credentials)). 7. Click **Save**. An overview of the newly created source will be displayed. ### Specifying Source Information for Wasabi and Amazon S3 (AWS) Enter the following information for your Wasabi or AWS source. - Bucket—Enter the exact source bucket name. The bucket name must match the bucket name in your cloud storage account. - Prefix—Enter characters to attach to the beginning of each object name that is transferred to the bucket. This prefix will specify which objects are visible. - Storage Class—For AWS users, select the default storage class to be used for all objects transferred to the bucket by the system. - Region—Select the source region. ### Specifying Source Information for Azure Blob Storage Enter the following information for the Azure source. - Storage Account—Enter the name of an existing storage account. - Container—Enter the name of an existing container. - Prefix—Enter characters to attach to the beginning of each object name that is transferred to the bucket. This prefix will specify which objects are visible. - Access Tier—Default access tier used for all objects transferred to the container by the system. - Region—Select the source region. ### Specifying Source Information for Google Cloud Storage (GCP) or Custom S3 Enter the following information for the GCP or custom S3 source. - Bucket—Enter the exact source bucket name. The bucket name must match the bucket name in your cloud storage account. - Prefix—Enter characters to attach to the beginning of each object name that is transferred to the bucket. This prefix will specify which objects are visible. - Storage Class—Select the default storage class to be used for all objects transferred to the bucket by the system. - Region—Select the source region. - Region (Country)—For a custom S3 source, select the source country where the data egresses from. ## Entering Target Bucket Information 1. Follow the steps in [Entering Source Bucket Information](/v1/docs/clone-3-entering-bucket-information-for-cloud-migration-in-wcsm#entering-source-bucket-information). Be sure to set: - Name—Provide a unique name for the target bucket (for example, AcmeTargetBucket) - Storage Type—Click the drop-down to select **Wasabi**. > You must specify Wasabi as the target. WCSM does not support migrating data out of Wasabi. - Bucket—Enter the exact target bucket name. The bucket name must match the bucket name in your cloud storage account. - Credentials—Select the target bucket credentials created in [Entering Target Bucket Credentials](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/entering-credentials-for-cloud-migration#entering-target-bucket-credentials). 2. You are now ready to establish your migration job. To do so, contact your WCSM Support Engineer. ## Objectives Met! - 1—Sign up for Wasabi Cloud Sync Manager and sign in. - 2—Enter credentials for cloud migration in WCSM. - 3—Enter bucket information for cloud migration in WCSM.
