Restarting an Instance

Scenarios

You may need to occasionally restart a DB instance to perform routine maintenance.

Precautions

• If the instance status is Available, Abnormal, or Checking restoration, you can restart the instance.
• Restarting an instance will interrupt services. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
• If 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.

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

   Alternatively, click the name of the instance, and on the displayed Basic Information page, click Restart in the upper right corner.
