- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute disks start-async-replicationstarts async replication on a Compute Engine persistent disk. This command must be invoked on the primary disk and--secondary-diskmust be provided. - EXAMPLES
-
Start replication from the primary disk 'my-disk-1' in zone us-east1-a to the
secondary disk 'my-disk-2' in zone us-west1-a:
gcloud alpha compute disks start-async-replication my-disk-1 --zone=us-east1-a --secondary-disk=my-disk-2 --secondary-disk-zone=us-west1-a - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
DISK_NAME- Name of the disk to operate on.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
--secondary-disk=SECONDARY_DISK- Secondary disk for asynchronous replication. This flag is required when starting replication.
-
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--region=REGION-
Region of the disk to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION --zone=ZONE-
Zone of the disk to operate on. If not specified and the
property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).compute/zoneTo avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
-
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--secondary-disk-region=SECONDARY_DISK_REGION-
Region of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication. Overrides the default
compute/regionproperty value for this command invocation. --secondary-disk-zone=SECONDARY_DISK_ZONE-
Zone of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication. Overrides the default
compute/zoneproperty value for this command invocation.
- SECONDARY DISK FLAGS
-
--secondary-disk-project=SECONDARY_DISK_PROJECT- Project of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication.
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
-
These flags are available to all commands:
--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.Run
$ gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
-
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,
you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access
allowlist. These variants are also available:
