Elastic Compute Service:AddDiskReplicaPair

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Adds a replication pair to a replication pair-consistent group. You can use a replication pair-consistent group to batch manage replication pairs. When you call this operation, you can specify parameters, such as ReplicaGroupId, ReplicaPairId, and ClientToken, in the request.

Operation description

Usage notes

  • For information about the regions in which the replication pair-consistent group feature is available, see Overview.

  • A replication pair and a replication pair-consistent group replicate in the same direction if they have the same primary region (production region), primary zone (production zone), secondary region (disaster recovery region), and secondary zone (disaster recovery zone). A replication pair can be added only to a replication pair-consistent group that replicates in the same direction as the replication pair.

  • Before you can add a replication pair to a replication pair-consistent group, make sure that the pair and the group are in the Created (created) or Stopped (stopped) state.

  • Up to 17 replication pairs can be added to a single replication pair-consistent group.

  • After replication pairs are added to a replication pair-consistent group, the recovery point objective (RPO) of the group takes effect on the pairs in place of their original RPOs.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
