Customize panel for Google Cloud Platform
This panel is displayed when you are configuring your virtual machines for recovery to Google Cloud Platform.
Table: Select Attributes panel
Options | Description |
|---|---|
Use same firewall for rehearsal operation similar to the one in production checkbox | Checkbox is selected by default. Machine type and Target VM values are already present. If the checkbox is uncheck, provide the following details:
|
Target VM Name | Value is already present. It can be changed later. |
Machine Type dropdown | Select the value. |
Network tag or Rehearsal Network Tag | These values are already present when the Use same firewall for rehearsal operation similar to the one in production checkbox is selected. |
While configuring your virtual machines in Goggle Cloud Platform, each network interface of an instance must be attached to different VPC and also each network interface must belong to a different subnet. If network mapping conflicts to above requirement, then you must select subnet from dropdown and within the subnet select the primary NIC from the dropdown on Select Primary NIC panel and click Next.
Below is the example of network mapping which conflicts with Google Cloud Platform requirement:
If you create network mapping from VMware or Hyper-V to Google Cloud Platform, say subnet A to B and subnet C to D and there are two NICs which exist in subnet A and two NICs exits in subnet C. On Google Cloud Platform, subnet B and subnet D belongs to same VPC say VPC1.
Below is the diagrammatical representation of the configuration explained:
So considering the above configuration, the mapping in Google Cloud Platform should have each network interface attached to different VPC and so for different subnet there must be one NIC created out of above four NICs. Hence, as described in the below diagram if you select a subnet say Subnet A and then select a primary NIC say NIC1 from subnet A using dropdown in Select Primary NIC panel, after migrating the virtual machines the NIC1 is created on Subnet B in GCP environment.
