When Does a GeminiDB Redis Instance Become Read-Only?

To maintain stability when storage is about to be exhausted, your GeminiDB Redis instance will become read-only, and its data cannot be modified. If this happens, you can scale up the storage to restore the instance status.

  • Table 1 describes the read-only status of instances with classic storage.

    Storage

    Description

    < 600 GB

    • When the storage usage reaches 97%, the instance becomes read-only.
    • When the storage usage decreases to 85%, the instance exits the read-only mode.

    ≥ 600 GB

    • If the remaining storage is less than 18 GB, the instance becomes read-only.
    • When the remaining storage is greater than or equal to 90 GB, the read-only status is automatically disabled.
  • Table 2 describes the read-only status of instances with cloud native storage.
