Performing a Master/Standby Switchover for a DCS Instance
On the DCS console, you can manually switch the master and standby nodes of a DCS instance. This operation is used for special purposes, for example, releasing all service connections or terminating ongoing service operations.
Only master/standby instances support a master/standby node switchover.

- Services may be interrupted for up to 10 seconds during the switchover. Before performing a switchover, ensure that your application supports reconnection.
- During a master/standby node switchover, a large amount of resources will be consumed for data synchronization between the master and standby nodes. You are advised to perform this operation during off-peak hours.
- Data of the maser and standby nodes is synchronized asynchronously. Therefore, a small amount of data that is being operated on during the switchover may be lost.
Prerequisites
The DCS instance for which you want to perform a master/standby node switchover is in the Running state.
