Restart Azure Database for MariaDB server using PowerShell
Important
Azure Database for MariaDB is on the retirement path. We strongly recommend that you migrate to Azure Database for MySQL. For more information about migrating to Azure Database for MySQL, see What's happening to Azure Database for MariaDB?.
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.
Prerequisites
To complete this how-to guide, you need:
- The Az PowerShell module installed locally
- 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.
Connect to your Azure account using the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet.
Restart the server
Restart the server with the following command:
Restart-AzMariaDbServer -Name mydemoserver -ResourceGroupName myresourcegroup
