NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Cloud Install and Upgrade Guide

GCP cross-project configuration

Note:

The zone of NetBackup Snapshot Manager and node-pools of the extension must be same.

In case of cross-project operations, a provider must be configured for the region in which NetBackup Snapshot Manager is installed. If NetBackup Snapshot Manager is installed in us-west1-b zone then a provider for us-west1 region must be configured.

Let the details of the first project in which NetBackup Snapshot Manager is installed be:

  • Service-account = cp-host-service-account

  • Project-name = cp-host-project

Let the details of the second project be:

  • Service-account = other-service-account

  • Project-name = other-project

To backup and restore VM using GCP cross-project configuration

  1. Create a cross project role in other-project with the following permissions:
    • compute.snapshots.useReadOnly

    • compute.disks.create

    • Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter

  2. Assign the above role to cp-host-service-account under the other-project project.
