- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)Convert Compute Engine Persistent Disk volumes to Hyperdisk volumes.gcloud alpha compute disks convertconverts 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. - EXAMPLES
-
The following command converts a Persistent Disk volume to a Hyperdisk Balanced
volume:
gcloud alpha compute disks convert my-disk-1 --zone=ZONE --target-disk-type=hyperdisk-balanced - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
DISK_NAME- Name of the disk to operate on.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
--target-disk-type=TARGET_DISK_TYPE-
Specifies the type of Hyperdisk to convert to, for example, to convert a
Hyperdisk Balanced volume, specify
hyperdisk-balanced. To get a list of available disk types, rungcloud compute disk-types list.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
-
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.
--kms-key=KMS_KEY-
ID of the key or fully qualified identifier for the key.
To set the
kms-keyattribute:-
provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
-
provide the argument
--kms-keyring=KMS_KEYRING-
The KMS keyring of the key.
To set the
kms-keyringattribute:-
provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--kms-keyringon the command line.
-
provide the argument
--kms-location=KMS_LOCATION-
The Google Cloud location for the key.
To set the
kms-locationattribute:-
provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--kms-locationon the command line; -
provide the argument
--regionon the command line.
-
provide the argument
--kms-project=KMS_PROJECT-
The Google Cloud project for the key.
To set the
kms-projectattribute:-
provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--kms-projecton the command line; -
set the property
core/project.
-
provide the argument
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--region=REGION-
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
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-
Zone of the disk to operate on. 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

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:
