You can adjust the configuration of a TencentDB for SQL Server instance and its associated instances only when they are in running status and are not executing any tasks.
Notes
Currently, the architecture cannot be downgraded back after an upgrade.
Impact of configuration adjustment
Data migration will be involved during the instance configuration adjustment, and the larger the data volume, the longer the data migration time. Access to the instance will not be affected during this period.
A switch will be performed after migration is completed, which causes a momentary disconnection from the database for few seconds. Make sure that your business has a reconnection mechanism.
Most database, account, and network operations are unavailable during the momentary disconnection. Therefore, we recommend that you perform the switch during off-peak hours.
Operation step
1. Log in to SQL Server Console, select the region where your instance is located, find the specific instance that needs reconfiguration in the instance list, and in its Operation column, click Adjust Configuration.
2. In the pop-up configuration adjustment window, select the architecture version you need to change to, verify it is correct, and click Confirm.
Note:
If data migration is involved during the change, you need to select the effective time and click the orange note; otherwise, you don't need to select the effective time.
During maintenance time: You can modify the maintenance time on the instance details page.
Adjust now: The configuration adjustment will be performed immediately.
3. For yearly/monthly subscription instances, confirm the configuration and cost in the redirected payment window and click Submit Order. For pay-as-you-go instances, confirm the configuration and cost in the redirected window and click Adjust.
4. Return to the instance list. When the instance status changes from Switching Instance Configuration to Running, the architecture upgrade is completed. You can query and confirm the new architecture on the Instance List or Instance Details page.
