Initiates a Cutover of a specific migrating VM. The returned LRO is completed when the cutover job resource is created and the job is initiated.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: vmmigration1 --scope <scope> projects locations-sources-migrating-vms-cutover-jobs-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The Cutover's parent.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

CutoverJob:
  compute-engine-disks-target-details:
    vm-target-details:
      vm-uri: string
  compute-engine-target-details:
    additional-licenses: [string]
    applied-license:
      os-license: string
      type: string
    boot-option: string
    compute-scheduling:
      min-node-cpus: integer
      on-host-maintenance: string
      restart-type: string
    disk-type: string
    encryption:
      kms-key: string
    hostname: string
    labels: { string: string }
    license-type: string
    machine-type: string
    machine-type-series: string
    metadata: { string: string }
    network-tags: [string]
    project: string
    secure-boot: boolean
    service-account: string
    vm-name: string
    zone: string
  create-time: string
  end-time: string
  error:
    code: integer
    message: string
  name: string
  progress-percent: integer
  state: string
  state-message: string
  state-time: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r .compute-engine-disks-target-details.vm-target-details vm-uri=nonumy

    • Output only. The URI of the Compute Engine VM.

  • ...compute-engine-target-details additional-licenses=sed

    • Additional licenses to assign to the VM.
    • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
  • applied-license os-license=kasd

  • restart-type=tempor

    • Whether the Instance should be automatically restarted whenever it is terminated by Compute Engine (not terminated by user). This configuration is identical to automaticRestart field in Compute Engine create instance under scheduling. It was changed to an enum (instead of a boolean) to match the default value in Compute Engine which is automatic restart.

    • the value will be associated with the given key
  • license-type=amet
    • The license type to use in OS adaptation.
  • machine-type=ut
    • The machine type to create the VM with.
  • machine-type-series=at
    • The machine type series to create the VM with.
  • metadata=key=sit
    • The metadata key/value pairs to assign to the VM.
    • the value will be associated with the given key
  • network-tags=vero
    • A list of network tags to associate with the VM.
    • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
  • project=duo
    • The Google Cloud target project ID or project name.
  • secure-boot=true
    • Defines whether the instance has Secure Boot enabled. This can be set to true only if the VM boot option is EFI.
  • service-account=ut
    • The service account to associate the VM with.
  • vm-name=rebum.
    • The name of the VM to create.

  • zone=duo

    • The zone in which to create the VM.

  • .. create-time=kasd

    • Output only. The time the cutover job was created (as an API call, not when it was actually created in the target).
  • end-time=sadipscing
    • Output only. The time the cutover job had finished.
  • error code=62
    • The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code.

  • message=sea

    • A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the google.rpc.Status.details field, or localized by the client.

  • .. name=et

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p cutover-job-id=string

    • Required. The cutover job identifier.

  • -p request-id=string

    • A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes since the first request. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.
