Creating Google Cloud Storage Instances

While creating a new virtual client, a default instance is created automatically.

You can create additional instances to manage different Google Cloud Storage service accounts.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, go to Client Computers > Google Storage client.

2. Right-click Cloud Apps, point to All Tasks, and then click Create New Instance.

   The New Google Cloud Storage Instance dialog box appears.

3. On the General tab, provide the following details:

   1. In the Instance Name box, type a name for the instance.

   2. In the Access Node box, select one or more proxy client computers or the client group where the Cloud Apps package is installed.

      Note

      • The proxy client computers must be of similar operating system type.

      • All clients in the client group must be reachable through network routes.

   3. In the Storage Policy box, select a storage policy for the backup and restore operations.

   4. In the Number of Data Backup Streams box, type the number of data streams to use for backups. The maximum value is 99.

      Note

      The number of streams must not exceed the maximum number configured in the subclient storage policy. The CommServe host allocates streams depending on the availability of resources.

4. On the Connection Details tab, provide the following details:

   1. In the Host URL box, type the Google Cloud Storage service account URL (storage.googleapis.com).

   2. Enter the credential:

1. Click OK.

Result

The Commvault software creates a Google Cloud Storage instance by using the specified credentials, and a default subclient.
