Exporting Source Instance to Object Storage
Use the dumpinstance
utility to export the DB system source instance
to Object Storage.
Using MySQL Shell
Use MySQL Shell to export the DB system source instance to Object Storage.
This task requires the following:
- MySQL Shell 8.0.27 or higher version. It is recommended to use the latest version of MySQL Shell. Any earlier versions of MySQL Shell cannot import the exports created by MySQL Shell 8.0.27 or higher version.
- Access to Object Storage and an existing bucket.
- A valid configuration file. If you have installed and configured the CLI in the default location, you have a valid configuration file. If you have not installed and configured the CLI, you must either install it or create a configuration file manually. See SDK and CLI Configuration File.
- At least one database schema in your source instance. MySQL Shell's
dumpInstance
command fails if there are no database schemas present in the instance.
