Upgrading the Kernel Version of a Proxy Instance

Scenarios

You can manually upgrade your database proxy instance to the latest kernel version to improve performance, add new functions, and fix problems.

If the kernel version of your instance has known defects, has expired, or has been brought offline, the system will deliver an upgrade task during the maintenance window and notify you by SMS message or email.

Precautions

Intermittent disconnections occur during an upgrade. The time required to complete the upgrade depends on how many proxy instances there are. Perform the upgrade during off-peak hours.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner of the page, choose Database > GaussDB(for MySQL).
  4. On the Instances page, click the instance name to go to the Basic Information page.
  5. In the navigation pane, choose Database Proxy.
  6. Click the name of a proxy instance to go to the Basic Information page.
  7. In the Proxy Instance Information area, click Upgrade in the DB Engine Version field.
  8. In the displayed dialog box, confirm the instance information and set Scheduled Time, and click OK.

    Scheduled Time is Upon submission by default, which means that the system upgrades the proxy instance to the latest version immediately after you submit the request.

    You can view the task progress in Task Center > Instant Tasks.
