Registering GCP credentials to use in Replication Manager

You can register Google Cloud Storage (GCS) credentials to use in Replication Manager after you provide access to GCP for the source cluster in the source Cloudera Manager.

Ensure that the following details are available before you register the GCS credentials to use in Replication Manager.
  • A valid Google Cloud Platform service account. For more information, see Configuring access to Google Cloud Storage.
  • Enough space for the replicated data and the required write permissions to copy the data in the storage of the destination cluster.
  1. Click Cloud Credentials > Add in CDP Public Cloud Replication Manager.
  2. Select the required source Cluster.
  3. Choose GCS as the Cloud Storage Type.
  4. Enter a unique Name for the cloud credential.
  5. Select one of the following Input Type, and then complete the required steps:
    1. Select Manual if you have the following details about the GCP service account:
      • Enter your GCS service account Client Email address.
      • Enter your GCS service account Private Key.
      • Enter your GCS service account Private Key ID.
      The image shows the options that appear when you choose GCS cloud storage type and Manual input type.
    2. Select File if you chose to save the service account private key in a file in JSON format. Ensure that you have the required permissions to access and use the file.
      Upload File for Replication Manager to use the credentials in it to access data.
      The image shows the options that appear when you choose GCS cloud storage type and File input type.
  6. Click Save.
The GCP cloud credentials appear on the Cloud Credentials page. You can use these credentials when you create the replication policies. The credentials allow Replication Manager to access the cloud data in the source cluster.
