Enabling and disabling high availability on an instance

MySQL | PostgreSQL | SQL Server

This page describes how to configure an instance for high availability.

You can configure an instance for high availability when you create the instance, or you can enable high availability on an existing instance.

For more information about high availability, see Overview of the high availability Configuration.

The legacy configuration for high availability used a failover replica instance. The new configuration does not use a failover replica. Instead, it uses Google's regional persistent disks, which synchronously replicate data at the block-level between two zones in a region. If you have an existing MySQL instance that uses the legacy high availability, you can update your configuration to use the current version. For other procedures related the legacy high availability configuration, see Legacy configuration for high availability.

Creating a new instance configured for high availability

When you create an instance and configure it for high availability, Cloud SQL creates it as a regional instance.

To create an instance configured for high availability:

Console

Go to the Cloud SQL Instances page in the Google Cloud Console.
Go to the Cloud SQL Instances page
Create an instance.
On the Instance info page, select Show configuration options.
Open Backups, recovery, and high availability.
Select the High availability (regional) radio button.
Leave the Automate backups and Enable point-in-time recovery checkboxes enabled.

gcloud

Create the regional instance:

gcloud sql instances create [REGIONAL_INSTANCE_NAME] \
                     --availability-type=REGIONAL \
                     --database-version=[DATABASE_VERSION] \
                     --tier=[MACHINE_TYPE] \
                     --enable-bin-log

For a complete list of available parameters, see the gcloud sql instances create reference page.

Configure the root user:

gcloud sql users set-password root --host=% \
           --instance=[MASTER_INSTANCE_NAME]
           --password=[PASSWORD]

REST

For the complete list of parameters for this request, see the instances:insert page.

Create the regional instance.

Configuring an existing instance for high availability

Configuring an existing instance for high availability causes a few minutes of downtime while the instance is reconfigured.

To configure an existing instance for high availability:

Console

Go to the Cloud SQL Instances page in the Google Cloud Console.
Go to the Cloud SQL Instances page
Click the instance name to open its Overview page.
Click Edit.
Open Backups, recovery, and high availability.
Enable the Automate backups and Enable point-in-time recovery checkboxes.
Select High availability (regional).
Click Save.
You are returned to the instance page for the master while the instance is updated.

gcloud

Update the instance to be regional:

gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --availability-type REGIONAL --enable-bin-log --backup-start-time=[HH:MM]

For reference information, see gcloud sql instances patch.

Disabling high availability on an instance

Before you perform this procedure, make sure there are no operations currently running on the instance.

To disable high availability:

Console

Go to the Cloud SQL Instances page in the Google Cloud Console.
Go to the Cloud SQL Instances page
Select the instance you want to disable high availability on.
On the Instance details page, click EDIT.
Open Auto backups.
Under Availability click Single zone.
Click Save. This edit requires a restart of the instance.
When you see the message box, click SAVE AND RESTART.

gcloud

For reference information, see gcloud sql instances patch.
