Elastic Compute Service:ReprotectDiskReplicaPair

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Enables the reverse replication feature for a replication pair.

Operation description

Usage notes

  • For information about the regions in which async replication is available, see Overview.

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

  • The primary disk must be detached from its associated Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance and is in the Unattached state. You can call the DetachDisk operation to detach the disk.

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

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

Test

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.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

RegionId

string

Yes

The region ID of the secondary disk in the replication pair. You can call the DescribeDiskReplicaPairs operation to query region IDs of secondary disks in replication pairs.

Note

The reverse replication feature must be enabled from the region where the secondary disk is located.

ReplicaPairId

string

Yes

The ID of the replication pair.

pair-cn-dsa****

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see How to ensure idempotence.
