Changing the Maintenance Window

Scenarios

The maintenance window is 02:00–06:00 by default and you can change it as required. To prevent service interruption, you are advised to set the maintenance window to off-peak hours.

Precautions

  • Before maintenance is performed, RDS will send SMS messages and emails to the contact person that has been set in the HUAWEI CLOUD account.
  • During the maintenance window, the DB instance will be intermittently disconnected for one or two times. Ensure that your applications support automatic reconnection.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
  4. On the Instance Management page, click the target DB instance. In the DB Information area on the Basic Information page, click Change in the Maintenance Window field.

    Changing the maintenance window does not affect the execution time of the scheduled tasks in the original maintenance period.
