NAME
gdcloud compute disks start-async-replication - Start async replication on a virtual machine disk. This command must be invoked on the primary disk and --secondary-disk must be provided.
To start replication from the primary disk 'example-disk-1' in zone us-east1-a to the secondary disk 'example-disk-2' in zone us-west1-a, run:
gdcloud compute disks start-async-replication example-disk-1 \
--project example-project \
--zone us-east1-a \
--secondary-disk example-disk-2 \
--secondary-zone us-west1-a
REQUIRED FLAGS
--secondary-zone string Zone of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--secondary-disk string Secondary disk for asynchronous replication.
--zone string Zone to use for this invocation. To preset the zone flag for all commands that require it, run: "gdcloud config set core/zone ZONE". The zone flag is available only in multi-zone environments.
GDCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --configuration, --format, --help, --project, --quiet.
