Uploading the OVA file using command-line method
You need to first create a Cloud Storage bucket in Google Cloud Platform and then upload your ova file to that bucket.
To upload the OVA file using command-line method
- Download and install the GCP Command Line Interface.
- Use the gsutil mb command to create a new bucket. Bucket names must be unique and should be DNS compliant:
gsutil mb gs://<bucket_name>
Where:
bucket_name is the name you want to give your bucket.
If the request is successful, the command returns the following message:
Creating gs://<bucket_name>/...
- Upload the OVA file by executing the following command:
gsutil cp <object_location> gs://<destination_bucket_name>/
Where:
object_location is the local path to your OVA file. For example, Desktop/RM.ova.
destination_bucket_name is the name of the bucket to which you are uploading your object. For example, my-bucket.
If the request is successful, the response looks like the following example:
Operation completed over 1 objects/58.8 KiB
