  • The Protection Status of the node is Unprotected.

Follow-Up Procedure

Disabling protection for a node

Choose Asset Management > Containers & Quota, click the Container Nodes tab, and click Nodes. In the Operation column, click Disable Protection.

If protection is disabled, the quota status will change from occupied to idle. You can allocate the idle quota to another node or unsubscribe unnecessary quota to avoid quota waste.

  • Before disabling protection, perform a comprehensive detection on the container, handle detected risks, and record operation information to prevent O&M errors and attacks on the container.
  • After protection is disabled, clear important data on the container, stop important applications on the container, and disconnect the container from the external network to avoid unnecessary loss caused by attacks.
