Restarting an Instance

You may need to restart an instance for routine maintenance.

Only instances in states Available, Abnormal, or Checking restoration can be restarted.
Restarting an instance will interrupt services. Exercise caution when performing this operation. Wait until off-peak hours and ensure that your application can re-connect.
After you restart an instance, all nodes in the instance are also restarted.
If you enable operation protection to improve the security of your account and cloud products, two-factor authentication is required for sensitive operations. For details about how to enable operation protection, see Identity and Access Management User Guide.

Log in to the management console.
In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
On the Instances page, locate the instance you want to restart and choose More > Restart in the Operation column.

Alternatively, click the name of the instance you want to restart, and on the displayed Basic Information page, click Restart in the upper right corner of the page.
If you have enabled operation protection, click Start Verification in the Restart DB Instance dialog box. On the displayed page, click Send Code, enter the verification code, and click Verify. The page is closed automatically.
In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
