NAME gcloud compute disks start-async-replication - start asynchronous replication on a Compute Engine persistent disk SYNOPSIS gcloud compute disks start-async-replication DISK_NAME --secondary-disk=SECONDARY_DISK (--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE) (--secondary-disk-region=SECONDARY_DISK_REGION | --secondary-disk-zone=SECONDARY_DISK_ZONE) [--secondary-disk-project=SECONDARY_DISK_PROJECT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION gcloud 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. 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 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 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. 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/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. 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.
