Adding a Google Cloud Platform Hypervisor

Add a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) hypervisor to support data protection operations for all instances hosted or managed by the hypervisor.

Before You Begin

• To back up and restore GCP instances, you must create a GCP service account, and then copy the provided private key (P12) file to each VSA proxy (access node).

  For more information, see Creating a Google Cloud Platform Service Account.

• There must be one Virtual Server Agent (VSA) proxy for each GCP project. You can install the VSA on other instances to create one or more additional proxies for the GCP project.
