This article describes how you can restart an Azure Database for MariaDB server. You may need to restart your server for maintenance reasons, which causes a short outage during the operation.
The server restart is blocked if the service is busy. For example, the service may be processing a previously requested operation such as scaling vCores.
The amount of time required to complete a restart depends on the MariaDB recovery process. To reduce the restart time, we recommend you minimize the amount of activity occurring on the server before the restart.
To complete this how-to guide, you need:
- The Az PowerShell module installed locally or Azure Cloud Shell in the browser
- An Azure Database for MariaDB server
Important
While the Az.MariaDb PowerShell module is in preview, you must install it separately from the Az
PowerShell module using the following command: Install-Module -Name Az.MariaDb -AllowPrerelease.
Once the Az.MariaDb PowerShell module is generally available, it becomes part of future Az
PowerShell module releases and available natively from within Azure Cloud Shell.
If you choose to use PowerShell locally, connect to your Azure account using the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet.
