Upload the Unified Access Gateway Image to Google Cloud Platform

To deploy a Unified Access Gateway instance to the Compute Engine, you must upload a Unified Access Gateway appliance disk image to the Google Cloud Platform.

Procedure

Download the Unified Access Gateway.ova image file, version 2103 or later, from the Customer Connect page.

Open a PowerShell command window and run the following command to extract the .vmdk file from the previously downloaded .ova file.

ova-filename is the .ova image file which is downloaded from Customer Connect.
target-location is the location to which the .vmdk file is extracted.


Windows	Ubuntu
expand-7zip ova-filename target-location For example, euc-unified-access-gateway-22.12.0.0-42741890_OVF10.ova is the downloaded file, where, `22-12` is the version number and `42741890` is the build number. To extract the .vmdk file to C:\temp, run the following command: expand-7zip C:\temp\`euc-unified-access-gateway-22.12.0.0-42741890_OVF10.ova` C:\temp\	tar -xvf ova-filename For example, tar -xvf euc-unified-access-gateway-22.12.0.0-42741890_OVF10.ova

Set the following variables.

$gcImageFile is the filename of the .vmdk file extracted in step 2.
$gcImageFolder is the folder path of the .vmdk file.

For example:

$gcImageFolder="C:\temp"
$gcImageFile="euc-unified-access-gateway-22.12.0.0-42741890-system.vmdk"
$gcBucket="uag-appliance-images"
$gcImageName=$gcImageFile.Replace("-system.vmdk","").Replace(".", "-")
gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project "my-project"

Create a Google Cloud storage bucket.

Note: You can also deploy Unified Access Gateway with compute image hosted on another Google Cloud project. In such case, specify the compute image name ( $gcImageName) and the hosting Project ID during Unified Access Gateway deployment.

Run this command to create storage bucket in the same project.
```
gsutil mb -l us-east1 gs://$gcBucket
```
Run this command to create storage bucket in a differnt project.
```
gsutil mb -l us-east1 gs://$gcBucket -p my-image-hosting-project
```
Upload the .vmdk image to the Google Cloud storage bucket by using the following command:
```
gsutil cp $gcImageFolder\$gcImageFile gs://$gcBucket
```
Create the appliance image in the Compute Engine from the uploaded .vmdk.

Run this command to import image in the same project.
```
gcloud compute images import $gcImageName --source-file gs://$gcBucket/$gcImageFile --data-disk
```
Run this command to import image in a different project.
```
gcloud compute images import $gcImageName --source-file gs://$gcBucket/$gcImageFile --data-disk --project my-image-hosting-project
```
Note: When you import a compute image, you can specify the subnet to be used for the temporary VMs created by the import tool. Use the flag --subnet as shown in the following example.
```
gcloud compute images import $gcImageName --source-file gs://$gcBucket/$gcImageFile --data-disk --subnet default
```
For more information about these commands, see Google Cloud SDK documentation.

Considering the example mentioned in the previous steps, the appliance image created in the Compute Engine is euc-unified-access-gateway-22-12-0-0-42741890 where 22-12 is the version number and 42741890 is the build number.
