Solutions
Alibaba Cloud reminds you that:
- When you perform operations that have risks, such as modifying instance configurations or data, check the disaster recovery and fault tolerance capabilities of the instances to ensure data security.
- Before you modify the configurations and data of instances including but not limited to ECS and RDS instances, we recommend that you create snapshots or enable RDS log backup.
- If you have authorized or submitted security information such as the logon account and password in the Alibaba Cloud Management console, we recommend that you modify such information in a timely manner.
Expand the range of open_files_limit parameters on the parameter settings page of the RDS console. After modifying these parameters, restart the instance for them to take effect.
Note:
open_files_limitthe default value is 65535, which ranges from 4000 to 65535 in the RDS console.
