gcloud alpha compute disks move

NAME
gcloud alpha compute disks move - move a disk between zones
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute disks moveDISK_NAME--destination-zone=DESTINATION_ZONE[--async][--zone=ZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute disks move facilitatesmoving a Compute Engine disk volume from one zone to another. You cannot move adisk if it is attached to a running or stopped instance; use the gcloud computeinstances move command instead.

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

EXAMPLES
To move the disk called example-disk-1 from us-central1-b to us-central1-f, run:
gcloudalphacomputedisksmoveexample-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.

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.
