- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute disks bulk createfacilitates the creation of multiple Compute Engine disks with a single command. This includes cloning a set of Async PD secondary disks with the same consistency group policy. - EXAMPLES
-
To consistently clone secondary disks with the same consistency group policy
'projects/example-project/regions/us-central1/resourcePolicies/example-group-policy'
to target zone 'us-central1-a', run:
gcloud alpha compute disks bulk create --source-consistency-group-policy=projects/example-project/regions/us-central1/resourcePolicies/example-group-policy --zone=us-central1-a - REQUIRED FLAGS
-
-
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--region=REGION-
Target region of the created disks, which currently must be the same as the
source region. 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
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION --zone=ZONE-
Target zone of the created disks, which currently must be the same as the source
zone. If not specified and the
property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).compute/zoneTo avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
-
Exactly one of these must be specified:
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
--source-consistency-group-policy=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_POLICY- URL of the source consistency group resource policy. The resource policy is always the same region as the source disks.
--source-instant-snapshot-group=SOURCE_INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP- Source instant snapshot group used to create the disks.
--source-snapshot-group=SOURCE_SNAPSHOT_GROUP- Source snapshot group used to create the disks.
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--source-instant-snapshot-group-region=SOURCE_INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_REGION-
Region of the source instant snapshot group to operate on. Overrides the default
compute/regionproperty value for this command invocation. --source-instant-snapshot-group-zone=SOURCE_INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_ZONE-
Zone of the source instant snapshot group to operate on. Overrides the default
compute/zoneproperty value for this command invocation.
- 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.Run
$ gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
-
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,
you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access
allowlist. These variants are also available:
