ApsaraDB for MyBase:Restart a host

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

Restart a host in an ApsaraDB MyBase dedicated cluster to recover from performance degradation or other host-level issues.

When to restart a host

Restart a host when the host itself—not an individual instance—is experiencing problems that cannot be resolved through instance-level operations. Common triggers include:

  • Sustained performance degradation on the host (high CPU, memory pressure, or I/O bottlenecks that persist across instances)

  • Unresponsive host behavior that is not caused by a specific instance

How it works

Restarting a host triggers a primary/secondary instance switchover for all instances running on that host:

  1. The primary instance on the host stops serving traffic.

  2. A secondary instance takes over as the new primary.

  3. During the switchover, one or two transient connections may occur.

The total restart time depends on how long the primary/secondary instance switchover takes.

While a host is restarting, instance creation and migration operations on that host may take longer than usual.

    Prerequisites
