Starting a GaussDB Instance

Scenarios

GaussDB allows you to manually start a stopped DB instance.

Precautions

• Only instances in the Stopped state can be started.
• During instance startup, the following operations cannot be performed: scaling up storage, changing specifications, backing up data, resetting passwords, rebooting the instance, and deleting the instance.
• If the number of stopped nodes in a DN shard exceeds half of the replicas of the shard, the instance may be abnormal. You are advised to stop all nodes and then start the instance.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
3. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > GaussDB.
4. On the Instances page, click More in the Operation column of the target instance and choose Start.
