Restarting an Instance

Scenarios

You may need to restart an instance for routine maintenance.

Precautions

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

Procedure

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

   Alternatively, locate the instance you want to restart and click its name. On the displayed Basic Information page, click Restart in the upper right corner of the page.

4. 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.
5. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes or Immediate.
