Storage management

Updated at:

This topic describes the storage management feature.

  1. storage managementFrom the basic information page of your database, click in the left navigation pane to change specifications, add read-only instances, release instances, or set a read policy for your dedicated RDS instances.
  2. To configure read/write splitting, click Set Read Policy to the right of the desired RDS instance. In the dialog box, select a read policy, configure the read/write weights, and then click OK. For more information about how read/write splitting works, see read/write splitting.
    Note
    • On the Capacity Management page, you set read/write weights for each RDS instance. If a PolarDB-X 1.0 database contains multiple RDS instances, you must set the read/write weights for each one.
    • Before you release an RDS read-only instance, you must set its read weight to 0 in the PolarDB-X 1.0 console. Otherwise, PolarDB-X 1.0 continues to route traffic to the read-only instance, causing the release to fail.
    • You configure read/write splitting at the PolarDB-X 1.0 database level. If multiple PolarDB-X 1.0 databases use the same RDS read-only instance, you must set its read weight to 0 in each of these PolarDB-X 1.0 databases.
  3. After you complete the configuration, connect to PolarDB-X 1.0 and run the SHOW NODE command to view the actual read traffic distribution.
