gcloud compute instances simulate-maintenance-event - simulate host maintenance of VM instances
gcloud compute instances simulate-maintenance-event INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...] [--async] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
gcloud compute instances simulate-maintenance-event simulates a host maintenance event on a Compute Engine VM. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/simulating-host-maintenance.
To simulate a maintenance event on an instance named test-instance located in zone us-east1-d, run:
$ gcloud compute instances simulate-maintenance-event \ test-instance --zone=us-east1-d
- INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...]
Names of the instances to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --zone=ZONE
Zone of the instances to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user 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.
