# Using a Script to Skip Manual Installation of Google Cloud Drivers

Before you prepare VMs for conversion to Google Cloud (GC), you can use a script to skip manual installation of GC drivers on Linux VMware virtual machines.

## Before You Begin

Verify that the following modules are configured to be available during the boot process: virtio, virtio_ring, virtio_pci, virtio_net, virtio_scsi. Although commonly used Linux distributions (RHEL, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu) will have these virtio driver modules packaged, you should still ensure that they are configured to be available.

## Procedure

1. Copy the Script. From the Commvault path on the Linux proxy:

       /opt/commvault/iDataAgent64/systemrecovery/bootimage/INITRD/

2. Copy the cvInjectDrivers.sh script to the following location on the source VM:

       /etc/commvault/

3. Run the following commands with the specified arguments and wait for the driver injection to complete:

       chmod +x cvInjectDrivers.sh

       ./cvInjectDrivers.sh / "virtio, virtio_ring, virtio_pci, virtio_scsi, virtio_net" /var/log/CVInjectDrivers.log 0 0 0 gcp

4. Verify the driver injection status by reviewing the logs:

       tail -500 /var/log/CVInjectDrivers.log

5. Run a full backup of the Linux VMWare VMs.

6. Perform a full replication on the GCP target.

7. Run a planned failover and then verify that the destination VM boots up.
