gcloud alpha compute disks move - move a disk between zones
gcloud alpha compute disks move DISK_NAME --destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE [--async] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute disks move facilitates moving a Compute Engine disk volume from one zone to another. You cannot move a disk if it is attached to a running or stopped instance; use the gcloud compute instances move command instead.
The gcloud compute disks move command does not support regional persistent disks. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/regional-persistent-disk for more details.
To move the disk called example-disk-1 from us-central1-b to us-central1-f, run:
$ gcloud alpha compute disks move example-disk-1 \ --zone=us-central1-b --destination-zone=us-central1-f
- DISK_NAME
Name of the disk to operate on.
- --destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE
The zone to move the disk to.
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --zone=ZONE
Zone of the disk to operate on. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
$ gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
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 help for details.
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:
$ gcloud compute disks move
$ gcloud beta compute disks move
