This topic describes how to restart an OBServer.
Prerequisites
The logged-on user in the OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP) console has the permission to update the cluster.
Your OceanBase cluster is managed in the current OCP cluster.
Otherwise, you need to use the current OCP cluster to take over your cluster. For more information, see Take over a cluster.
If the OBServer to be restarted hosts the only full-featured replica of a tenant, we recommend that you restart the OBServer during night hours when the business traffic is low.
Procedure
Log on to the OCP console.
The Clusters page automatically appears.
The Cluster Overview page automatically appears.
In the Clusters list on this page, find the target cluster and click its name to go to the Overview page of the cluster.
In the OBServers list, find the row that contains the target OBServer, and click Restart in the Actions column.

In the dialog box that appears, select whether to force restart.
In a general restart task, a pre-check is performed before the OBServer restarts. The OBServer will not be restarted if it does not pass the pre-check.
If the OBServer does not host businesses, you can choose to force restart. Otherwise, we recommend that you do not choose to force restart.
Click Restart .
In the dialog box that appears, you can click View Task to view the progress.
You can also choose System Management > Tasks to view the progress of the task.
When the task status is Completed , and the status of the OBServer is Running in the OBServers list on the Overview page, the OBServer is restarted.
