- DESCRIPTION
(BETA)Convert Compute Engine Persistent Disk volumes to Hyperdiskvolumes.gcloud beta compute disks convertconverts a Compute EnginePersistent Disk volume to a Hyperdisk volume. For a comprehensive guide, referto:https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/disks/convert.- EXAMPLES
- The following command converts a Persistent Disk volume to a Hyperdisk Balancedvolume:
gcloudbetacomputedisksconvertmy-disk-1--zone=ZONE--target-disk-type=hyperdisk-balanced - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
DISK_NAME- Name of the disk to operate on.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
--target-disk-type=TARGET_DISK_TYPE- Specifies the type of Hyperdisk to convert to, for example, to convert aHyperdisk Balanced volume, specify
hyperdisk-balanced. To get alist of available disk types, rungcloud compute disk-typeslist.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
- Key resource - The Cloud KMS (Key Management Service) cryptokey that will beused to protect the disk. The 'Compute Engine Service Agent' service accountmust hold permission 'Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter'. The arguments inthis group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.
--kms-key=KMS_KEY- ID of the key or fully qualified identifier for the key.
To set the
kms-keyattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.
- provide the argument
--kms-keyring=KMS_KEYRING- The KMS keyring of the key.
To set the
kms-keyringattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--kms-keyringon the command line.
- provide the argument
--kms-location=KMS_LOCATION- The Google Cloud location for the key.
To set the
kms-locationattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--kms-locationon the command line; - provide the argument
--regionon the command line.
- provide the argument
--kms-project=KMS_PROJECT- The Google Cloud project for the key.
To set the
kms-projectattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--kms-projecton the command line; - set the property
core/project.
- provide the argument
- At most one of these can 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 the
property:compute/regiongcloudconfigsetcompute/regionREGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloudcomputeregionslistTo unset the property, run:
gcloudconfigunsetcompute/regionAlternatively, 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
property isn't set, you mightbe prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).compute/zoneTo avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/zonegcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloudcomputezoneslistTo unset the property, run:
gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
- Key resource - The Cloud KMS (Key Management Service) cryptokey that will beused to protect the disk.
