.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fBgcloud compute disks start\-async\-replication\fR starts async replication on
a Compute Engine persistent disk. This command must be invoked on the primary
disk and \f5\-\-secondary\-disk\fR must be provided.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

Start replication from the primary disk 'my\-disk\-1' in zone us\-east1\-a to
the secondary disk 'my\-disk\-2' in zone us\-west1\-a:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute disks start\-async\-replication my\-disk\-1 \e
    \-\-zone=us\-east1\-a \-\-secondary\-disk=my\-disk\-2 \e
    \-\-secondary\-disk\-zone=us\-west1\-a

.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

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

Name of the disk to operate on.

.SH "REQUIRED FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-secondary\-disk\fR=\fISECONDARY_DISK\fR

Secondary disk for asynchronous replication. This flag is required when starting
replication.

.TP 2m

Exactly one of these must 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.

.RE
.sp
.TP 2m

Exactly one of these must be specified:


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-secondary\-disk\-region\fR=\fISECONDARY_DISK_REGION\fR

Region of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication. Overrides the default
\fBcompute/region\fR property value for this command invocation.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-secondary\-disk\-zone\fR=\fISECONDARY_DISK_ZONE\fR

Zone of the secondary disk for asynchronous replication. Overrides the default
\fBcompute/zone\fR property value for this command invocation.
