RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

DBClusterId

string

Yes

The cluster ID.

Note

Call the DescribeDBClusters operation to query the details of all clusters in a destination region, including their cluster IDs.

pc-**************

ZoneId

string

Yes

The ID of the new zone.

Note

Call the DescribeRegions operation to query available zones.

cn-hangzhou-g

ZoneType

string

No

The type of the zone. Valid values:

  • Primary: The primary zone.

  • Standby: The secondary zone.

Primary

VSwitchId

string

No

The ID of the vSwitch in the destination zone.

Note
  • This parameter is required for PolarDB for Oracle and PolarDB for PostgreSQL clusters.

  • For PolarDB for MySQL clusters, this parameter is required if a vSwitch is created in the destination zone. If no vSwitch is created, the default vSwitch is used and this parameter is optional.

vsw-**************

IsSwitchOverForDisaster

string

No

Specifies whether to fail back to the original zone. Valid values:

  • true: Fails back to the original zone.

  • false: Does not fail back to the original zone.

false

PlannedStartTime

string

No

The earliest time to start the scheduled task to change the zone. Specify the time in the YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC.

Note
  • The start time must be a point in time within the next 24 hours. For example, if the current time is 2021-01-14T09:00:00Z, you can set the start time to a value from 2021-01-14T09:00:00Z to 2021-01-15T09:00:00Z.

  • If you do not specify this parameter, the zone change task is performed immediately.

2021-01-14T09:00:00Z

PlannedEndTime

string

No

The latest time to start the scheduled task. Specify the time in the YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC.

Note
  • The latest start time must be at least 30 minutes later than the earliest start time.

  • If you specify PlannedStartTime but not this parameter, the latest start time of the task is the value of PlannedStartTime plus 30 minutes by default. For example, if you set PlannedStartTime to 2021-01-14T09:00:00Z and leave this parameter empty, the task starts no later than 2021-01-14T09:30:00Z.

2021-01-14T09:30:00Z
