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, so 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.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB Mongo API.
3. On the Instance Management page, locate the instance you want to restart and in the Operation column choose Restart.

   Alternatively, click the target DB instance, and 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.
   For GeminiDB Mongo instances, you can restart several nodes at the same time or in sequence based on service requirements.
