Restarting Brokers of a RocketMQ Instance

Restart one or more brokers of a RocketMQ instance at a time on the DMS for RocketMQ console.

During the restart, client requests for message retrieval and creation will be rejected for up to 30s. Restart brokers during off-peak hours. Restarting slave brokers does not affect services.

How do I know which broker is the master?

Each broker has one master node and two standby nodes. For example, to purchase one broker, two brokers will be created. Three brokers are deployed in raft mode with broker IDs 1, 2, and 3. When one broker becomes the master, its broker ID is 0. In this case, the broker whose ID is 0 is the master one.
