PolarDB:Restart a node

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

Restart a node in the PolarDB console to resolve database connection or performance issues.

Usage notes

  • A transient disconnection of less than one minute may occur during the restart. Schedule restarts during off-peak hours and make sure your application has a reconnection mechanism.

  • The time required depends on your data volume and may take several hours. Proceed with caution.

  • After a read-only node restarts, new read-write splitting connections automatically route requests to that node. Existing connections established before the restart are not affected. To route traffic from existing connections to the restarted node, restart your application.
