Changing a Storage Type

Scenarios

If the storage type of your DB instance does not match your workloads, you can change it as needed.

For details about storage types, see DB Instance Storage Types.

Constraints

  • If the storage type of a read replica is different from that of its associated DB instance, the data synchronization may be affected. Ensure that the storage type of the read replica is the same as or faster than that of the primary DB instance.
  • During the storage type change, operations such as changing the instance class and scaling up storage space cannot be performed on the instance.
  • Changing the storage type may affect storage performance, so the storage type should be changed during off-peak hours.
  • Changing the storage type may take several minutes, hours, or even days. The time required depends on the throughput, storage space, and original storage type. This operation cannot be paused.
  • In rare cases, the change may fail due to resource problems. If this happens, you are advised to perform the change again.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
  4. On the Instances page, locate the target DB instance and choose More > Change Instance Class in the Operation column.

    Alternatively, click the target DB instance to go to the Summary page. Under Instance Class, click Configure.

  5. On the displayed page, select a target Storage Type, for example, Extreme SSD for Storage Type and click Next.

    If the target storage type is Flexible SSD, click Disk QoS under Change Type and enter the IOPS and throughput.

    • IOPS: Flexible SSD decouples capacity from performance and allows for tailored IOPS for your business requirements with fixed capacity.

      This parameter is available only for Flexible SSD. The value range is from 3000 to 128000. The IOPS is limited by the disk size and must be no greater than 500 times the disk capacity.

    • Throughput: Flexible SSD decouples capacity from performance and allows for tailored throughput for your business requirements with fixed capacity.

      This parameter is available only for Flexible SSD. The value ranges from 125 to 1000 (in MiB/s) and must also be no greater than the IOPS divided by 4.

  6. Confirm the configurations and Click Submit.
  7. Check the results.

    Return to the Instances page. A few minutes later, click the instance name and check the new storage type on the displayed Summary page.
