PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Administration and User Guide

Configuring the GCVE-on-GCP portal

Domain Name System (DNS) resolution is critical for deployment and configuration of PowerProtect Data Manager, the PowerProtect Data Manager external proxy, and DDVE. All infrastructure components should be resolvable through a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Resolvable means that components are accessible through both forward (A) and reverse (PTR) lookups.

Ensure that the GCVE-on-GCP portal meets the following requirements:

  • If you have deployed a PowerProtect Data Manager OVA to GVCE on GCP or a PowerProtect Data Manager machine image to GCP, it is configured to use a custom DNS server.
    NOTE If you have already deployed PowerProtect Data Manager without a custom DNS server, you will have to redeploy it. For more information, see the PowerProtect Data Manager Deployment Guide or the PowerProtect Data Manager GCP Deployment Guide.
  • Forward and reverse DNS lookups exist for PowerProtect Data Manager, vCenter, DDVE, ESXi, and each VM Direct Engine.
  • DNS is configured to allow machines in the SDDC to resolve FQDNs to their IP addresses.
  • DDVE is running in GCP. If you have more than one DDVE instance running in GCP to perform replication, both DDVE instances have the ability to ping each other using their FQDNs.
    NOTE DDVE running in GCVE on GCP is not supported.
  • DDVE has DNS entries for PowerProtect Data Manager and each VM Direct Engine.
  • SDDC is connected to a Google account, and a Google cloud and subnet within that account is selected.
  • Any DDVE instances running in GCP is connected to the SDDC through a Vnet. This action allows the SDDC, the services in GCP, and subnets in GCP to communicate without having to route traffic through the Internet gateway.

The same Vnet is recommended for access to DDVE instances. For more information about configuring Vnets, see About Virtual Network.
