Use the Console to start, stop, or restart a DB system.

1. On the DB systems list page, find the DB system that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the DB system, see Listing DB Systems - Using the Console.
2. From the Actions menu for the DB system:
   • To start a stopped DB system, select Start.
   • To stop a running DB system, select Stop.
   • To shut down a DB system and restart it, select Restart.
     Note
     
     After you restart a DB system, the data is automatically loaded in the HeatWave cluster.
3. If you select Stop or Restart, the Stop (or Restart) DB system dialog box is displayed. Select one of the following shutdown types:
   • Fast: Flush dirty pages before shutting down the DB System. The DB system performs some flush operation during the next startup, increasing the duration of the startup.
   • Slow: Flush dirty pages and purge undo log pages for older transactions. The shutdown itself can take longer, but the subsequent startup is faster.
   • Immediate: Does not flush dirty pages and does not purge any undo log pages. It stops MySQL DB System immediately. Page flushing and log purging happen during the next startup, increasing the duration of the startup.
4. Select the Stop or Restart button, depending on the intended action.
