Quick start for Cloud Volumes ONTAP in Google Cloud
Get started with Cloud Volumes ONTAP in Google Cloud in a few steps.
Create a Console agentIf you don't have a Console agent yet, you need to create one. Learn how to create a Console agent in Google Cloud
Note that if you want to deploy Cloud Volumes ONTAP in a subnet where no internet access is available, then you need to manually install the Console agent and access the NetApp Console that's running on that Console agent.

Plan your configurationThe Console offers preconfigured packages that match your workload requirements, or you can create your own configuration. If you choose your own configuration, you should understand the options available to you.
Set up your networking-
Ensure that your VPC and subnets will support connectivity between the Console agent and Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
-
If you plan to enable data tiering, configure the Cloud Volumes ONTAP subnet for Private Google Access.
-
If you're deploying an HA pair, ensure that you have four VPCs, each with their own subnet.
-
If you're using a shared VPC, provide the Compute Network User role to the Console agent service account.
-
Enable outbound internet access from the target VPC for NetApp AutoSupport.
This step isn't required if you're deploying Cloud Volumes ONTAP in a location where no internet access is available.
Set up a service accountCloud Volumes ONTAP requires a Google Cloud service account for two purposes. The first is when you enable data tiering to tier cold data to low-cost object storage in Google Cloud. The second is when you enable the NetApp Backup and Recovery to back up volumes to low-cost object storage.
You can set up one service account and use it for both purposes. The service account must have the Storage Admin role.
Enable Google Cloud APIsEnable the following Google Cloud APIs in your project. These APIs are required to deploy the Console agent and Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
