If a secondary instance on a host in an ApsaraDB MyBase dedicated cluster is abnormal or you want to migrate a secondary instance to a host in another dedicated cluster, you can recreate the secondary instance.

Instances that can be recreated

  • ApsaraDB MyBase for MySQL instances of the High-availability Edition
  • ApsaraDB MyBase for PostgreSQL instances

Precautions

  • When you recreate a secondary instance, you must minimize read and write operations on the primary instance. If a large number of read and write operations are performed on the primary instance, data may fail to be synchronized to the secondary instance.
  • The time required to recreate a secondary instance varies based on your data volume and business traffic.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the ApsaraDB MyBase console.
  2. In the upper-left corner of the page, select a region.
  3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters. On the page that appears, find the dedicated cluster that you want to manage and click Details in the Actions column.
  4. In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances.
  5. Find the instance that you want to manage, and click Create New Secondary Instance in the Actions column.
    Recreate a secondary instance
  6. The Create New Secondary Instance dialog box appears.
    • If you do not want to specify a host for the secondary instance that you want to recreate, click OK. Recreate a secondary instance - specify a host
      Note If you do not turn on Enable Host, the secondary instance is recreated based on the following rules:
      • Preferentially recreate the secondary instance on the same host.
      • If the secondary instance cannot be recreated on the same host, select a host on which the primary instance is not deployed in the dedicated cluster.
      • If a host is unavailable or the host does not have sufficient space, a message appears. This message indicates that the secondary instance cannot be recreated. In this case, you must add a host or scale up the host.
    • If you want to recreate the secondary instance on a specified host, turn on Enable Host, select the host on which you want to recreate the secondary instance, and then click OK. Recreate a secondary instance - specify an instance
