GCP shared VPC configuration

In case of shared VPC configurations, custom shared VPC role must be attached to service account used in NetBackup Snapshot Manager provider configuration.

For example, consider the following details to list the shared VPC networks for restoring VM using GCP shared VPC configuration:

  • For NetBackup Snapshot Manager provider configuration service account: nbsm-service-account

  • For shared VPC project name: shared-vpc-project

To list shared VPC networks for restoring VM using GCP shared VPC configuration

  1. Create a shared VPC role in shared-vpc-project with the following permissions:
    • compute.networks.getEffectiveFirewalls

    • compute.networks.list

    • compute.projects.get

    • compute.subnetworks.get

    • compute.subnetworks.list

    • compute.subnetworks.use

    • compute.subnetworks.useExternalIp

    • resourcemanager.projects.get

    • compute.firewalls.get

  2. Assign the above role to nbsm-service-account under the shared-vpc-project project.
