NAME
gcloud alpha compute disks start-async-replication - start asynchronous replication on a Compute Engine persistent disk
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute disks start-async-replicationDISK_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
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute disksstart-async-replication starts async replication on a Compute Enginepersistent 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 thesecondary disk 'my-disk-2' in zone us-west1-a:
gcloudalphacomputedisksstart-async-replicationmy-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 startingreplication.
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--region=REGION
Region of the disk to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted toselect a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set thecompute/region property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/regionREGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputeregionslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--zone=ZONE
Zone of the disk to operate on. If not specified and thecompute/zone property isn't set, you mightbe prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set thecompute/zone property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_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 defaultcompute/region property value for this command invocation.
--secondary-disk-zone=SECONDARY_DISK_ZONE
Zone of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication. Overrides the defaultcompute/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.
