Registering GCS credentials to use in Replication Manager

You can register Google Cloud Storage (GCS) credentials to use in Replication Manager after you provide access to GCS 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 GCS 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 GCS 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.
