How Does a Cloud Database Perform a Primary/Standby Switchover?

RDS provides the high availability. Select the primary/standby mode.

Failover

Also called an unplanned handover. If the primary DB instance fails, the system will automatically switch to the standby DB instance within 5 minutes. No human intervention is required. The connection IP address remains unchanged. DB instances cannot be accessed during the failover. You need to configure automatic reconnections between applications and RDS DB instances to ensure near-continuous availability.

Switchover (Manual)

Also called a planned handover. When a DB instance is running properly, you can manually perform a primary/standby switchover if it is needed.

  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, click the target DB instance name to go to the Overview page.
  5. Under DB Instance Type, click Switch.

    A primary/standby switchover may cause service interruption for some seconds or minutes (depending on the replication delay). If the replication delay is too long, a small amount of data may be lost. To prevent traffic congestion, perform a switchover during off-peak hours.

  6. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes to switch between the primary and standby DB instances.

    If the replication status is Available and the replication delay is greater than 300s, the primary/standby switchover task cannot be delivered.

  7. After a switchover is successful, you can view and manage the DB instance on the Instances page.

    • During the switchover process, the DB instance status is Switchover in progress.
    • In the upper right corner of the DB instance list, click to refresh the list. After the switchover is complete, the DB instance status will become Available
