Changing the Maintenance Window

Scenarios

The maintenance window is 02:00–06:00 by default and you can change it as required. To prevent service interruptions, you are advised to set the maintenance window to off-peak hours.

Precautions

• Before maintenance is performed, RDS will send SMS messages and emails to the contact person that has been set in the Huawei account.
• During the maintenance window, the DB instance will be intermittently disconnected for one or two times. Ensure that your applications support automatic reconnection.
