DBaaS states

View as Markdown

A DBaaS instance moves through these states as you create, stop, start, and delete it. Its state on the DBaaS list tells you when you can connect and when billing runs.

State When you see it
Creating MyAccount is creating the server, right after you click Launch DBaaS.
Deploying The server is up and DBaaS is setting up the database. Billing starts here.
Running Ready: connect and work.
Restarting Briefly, after you restart it.
Resuming After you start a stopped DBaaS instance, until it is Running again.
Stopping Shutting down, right after you stop it.
Stopped After a stop finishes, and when a disk expansion finishes. Billing continues until you delete the DBaaS instance.
Upgrading A plan change or a disk expansion is in progress.
Terminating Being deleted, right after you delete it.
Terminated Fully deleted.
Creation Failed Creation went wrong during Creating.
Deploy Failed Setup went wrong during Deploying.
VM Error An error stopped the DBaaS instance partway.

If a DBaaS instance shows Creation Failed, Deploy Failed, or VM Error, contact support; Troubleshooting DBaaS lists what to have ready.

A Read Replica moves through the same states as any other DBaaS instance. Once it reads Running, it is ready to promote; see Promote a Read Replica to Master Node.
