    Switchover time

    For maintenance tasks that involve a switchover—such as upgrades, downgrades, version upgrades, and restarts—choose when the switchover occurs:

    • Execute Immediately: The switchover runs as soon as preparations are complete.

    • Execute Within Maintenance Window (Recommended): Preparations run first, and the switchover is performed within your configured maintenance window.

    To switch at a specific time outside the maintenance window, wait until the task status changes to Pending Schedule. Then click Modify Switching time in the Actions column and select Execute now.

    FAQ

    Why can't I click Modify Switching time?

    • The task does not affect the instance, so you do not need to modify the switchover time.

    • The system is still preparing for the switchover—for example, creating a new instance or migrating data. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on the data volume. Once preparations are complete, the task status changes to Pending Schedule and the button becomes active.

    Why does the task show "in progress" after my instance is back online?

    After the switchover completes, the instance is accessible again, but the system continues running cleanup tasks in the background—such as deleting the old instance. The task status changes to Complete once cleanup finishes.
