Elastic Compute Service:ReprotectDiskReplicaGroup

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Enables the reverse replication feature for replication pairs that belong to a replication pair-consistent group. After reverse replication is enabled, data stored on the original secondary disks is replicated to the original primary disks. When a reverse replication is being performed, the primary and secondary sites of the replication pair-consistent group remain unchanged, but data is replicated from the secondary site to the primary site.

Operation description

Usage notes

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

  • The replication pair-consistent group for which you want to enable reverse replication must be in the Failovered (failovered) state. You can call the FailoverDiskReplicaPair operation to enable failover.

  • Before a reverse replication is performed, the primary disks must be detached from its associated Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance and must be in the Unattached state. You can call the DetachDisk operation to detach the disks.

  • After you enable reverse replication, you must call the StartDiskReplicaPair operation again to enable the async replication feature before data can be replicated from the original secondary disks to the original primary disks.

  • You can set the ReverseReplicate parameter to false to cancel the Failovered (failovered) state and restore the original replication direction.

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.
