View your Google Cloud Storage buckets

Contributors netapp-tonacki

After you install a Connector in Google Cloud, BlueXP can automatically discover information about the Google Cloud Storage buckets that reside in the Google account where the Connector is installed. A Google Cloud Storage working environment is added to the Canvas so you can view this information.

You can see details about your Google Cloud Storage buckets, including the location, access status, storage class, total and used capacity, and more. These buckets can be used as destinations for BlueXP backup and recovery, BlueXP tiering, or BlueXP copy and sync operations.

Steps
  1. Install a Connector in the Google account where you want to view your Google Cloud Storage buckets.

  2. From the navigation menu, select Storage > Canvas.

    You should automatically see a Google Cloud Storage working environment shortly after.
