SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute disks moveDISK_NAME--destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE[--async][--zone=ZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute disks move facilitates moving a Compute Engine diskvolume from one zone to another. You cannot move a disk if it is attached to arunning or stopped instance; use the gcloud compute instances move commandinstead.

Thegcloud compute disks move command does not support regionalpersistent disks. Seehttps://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/regional-persistent-diskfor more details.

EXAMPLES

gcloudcomputedisksmoveexample-disk-1--zone=us-central1-b--destination-zone=us-central1-f
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
DISK_NAME
Name of the disk to operate on.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE
The zone to move the disk to.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--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.
