gcloud alpha compute disks start-async-replication DISK_NAME --secondary-disk=SECONDARY_DISK [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [--secondary-disk-project=SECONDARY_DISK_PROJECT] [--secondary-disk-region=SECONDARY_DISK_REGION | --secondary-disk-zone=SECONDARY_DISK_ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute disks start-async-replication starts async replication on a Compute Engine persistent disk. This command must be invoked on the primary disk and --secondary-disk must be provided.
Replication can only be started from the primary scope. To 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
- DISK_NAME
Name of the disk to operate on.
- --secondary-disk=SECONDARY_DISK
Secondary disk for asynchronous replication. This flag is required when starting replication.
- At most one of these can 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 compute/region property:
$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION
A list of regions can be fetched by running:
$ gcloud compute regions list
To unset the property, run:
$ gcloud config unset compute/region
Alternatively, 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 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.
- --secondary-disk-project=SECONDARY_DISK_PROJECT
Project of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication.
- At most one of these can be specified:
- --secondary-disk-region=SECONDARY_DISK_REGION
Region of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.
- --secondary-disk-zone=SECONDARY_DISK_ZONE
Zone of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication. Overrides the default compute/zone property value for this command invocation.
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.
