NAME
gcloud compute instances move - move an instance and its attached
persistent disks between zones
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instances move INSTANCE_NAME
--destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE [--async] [--zone=ZONE]
[GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
(DEPRECATED) This command is deprecated. Please see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/moving-instance-across-zones
for an alternative method.
gcloud compute instances move moves a Compute Engine virtual machine from
one zone to another. Moving a virtual machine might incur downtime if the
guest OS must be shut down in order to quiesce disk volumes prior to
snapshotting.
For example, running the following command moves the instance called
example-instance-1 with its attached persistent disks, currently running in
us-central1-b, to us-central1-f.
$ gcloud compute instances move example-instance-1 \
--zone=us-central1-b --destination-zone=us-central1-f
Note: Moving VMs or disks by using the gcloud compute instances move
command might cause unexpected behavior. For more information, see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/troubleshooting/known-issues#moving_vms_or_disks_using_the_moveinstance_api_or_the_causes_unexpected_behavior.
Please note that gcloud compute instances move does not yet support
instances which have regional persistent disks attached. Please see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/regional-persistent-disk for
more details.
EXAMPLES
To move instance-1 from us-central-a to europe-west1-d, run:
$ gcloud compute instances move instance-1 --zone=us-central1-a \
--destination-zone=europe-west1-d
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance 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
REQUIRED FLAGS
--destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE
The zone to move the instance to.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to
complete.
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance 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.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
