- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
--direction=DIRECTION-
Represents the direction of the mirror.
DIRECTIONmust be (only one value is supported):from-cloud-storage- Mirror from Cloud Storage to Lustre.
-
Specifies a Cloud Storage bucket and, optionally, a path inside the bucket.
This must be specified.
--gcs-path-uri=GCS_PATH_URI-
The URI to a Cloud Storage bucket, or a path within a bucket, using the format
gs://<bucket_name>/<optional_path_inside_bucket>/. If a path inside the bucket is specified, it must end with a forward slash (/).
-
The root directory path to the Lustre file system.
This must be specified.
--lustre-path=LUSTRE_PATH-
The root directory path to the Managed Lustre file system. Must start with
/. Default is/. If you're importing data into Managed Lustre, any path other than the default must already exist on the file system.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
--async- Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--deleted-files-retained- If true, files will be retained in lustre after the corresponding files are deleted from cloud storage. Default is false.
--description=DESCRIPTION- Description of the mirror.
--labels=[LABELS,…]-
Labels to apply to the mirror.
KEY-
Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens
(
-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. VALUE-
Values must contain only hyphens (
-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.
Shorthand Example:--labels=string=string
JSON Example:--labels='{"string": "string"}'
File Example:--labels=path_to_file.(yaml|json)
--request-id=REQUEST_ID-
The unique 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 guarantees that a request doesn't result in
creation of duplicate mirrors for at least 60 minutes.
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 mirrors.
The request ID must be a valid UUID version 4 with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000). This request is only idempotent if arequest_idis provided.
