.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR Convert Compute Engine Persistent Disk volumes to Hyperdisk
volumes.

\fBgcloud alpha compute disks convert\fR converts a Compute Engine Persistent
Disk volume to a Hyperdisk volume. For a comprehensive guide, refer to:
https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/disks/convert.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

The following command converts a Persistent Disk volume to a Hyperdisk Balanced
volume:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute disks convert my\-disk\-1 \-\-zone=ZONE \e
\-\-target\-disk\-type=hyperdisk\-balanced
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIDISK_NAME\fR

Name of the disk to operate on.


.RE
.sp

.SH "REQUIRED FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-target\-disk\-type\fR=\fITARGET_DISK_TYPE\fR

Specifies the type of Hyperdisk to convert to, for example, to convert a
Hyperdisk Balanced volume, specify \f5hyperdisk\-balanced\fR. To get a list of
available disk types, run \f5gcloud compute disk\-types list\fR.

.SH "OPTIONAL FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m

Key resource \- The Cloud KMS (Key Management Service) cryptokey that will be
used to protect the disk. The 'Compute Engine Service Agent' service account
must hold permission 'Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter'. The arguments in
this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-kms\-key\fR=\fIKMS_KEY\fR

ID of the key or fully qualified identifier for the key.

To set the \f5kms\-key\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-kms\-key\fR on the command line.
.RE
.sp

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group
are specified.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-kms\-keyring\fR=\fIKMS_KEYRING\fR

The KMS keyring of the key.

To set the \f5kms\-keyring\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-kms\-key\fR on the command line with a fully
specified name;
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-kms\-keyring\fR on the command line.
.RE
.sp

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-kms\-location\fR=\fIKMS_LOCATION\fR

The Google Cloud location for the key.

To set the \f5kms\-location\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-kms\-key\fR on the command line with a fully
specified name;
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-kms\-location\fR on the command line;
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-region\fR on the command line.
.RE
.sp

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-kms\-project\fR=\fIKMS_PROJECT\fR

The Google Cloud project for the key.

To set the \f5kms\-project\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-kms\-key\fR on the command line with a fully
specified name;
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-kms\-project\fR on the command line;
.IP "\(bu" 2m
set the property \f5core/project\fR.

.TP 2m

At most one of these can be specified:


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-region\fR=\fIREGION\fR

Region of the disk to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
\f5\fIcompute/region\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION
.RE

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute regions list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/region
.RE

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION\fR\fR.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR

Zone of the disk to operate on. If not specified and the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a
zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
.RE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute zones list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
.RE

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE\fR\fR.
