Three zones are added by default.
The following table describes the settings for each zone.
Parameter Description Zone Name Generally, a default name is provided. You can set a custom name as needed. The zone name must be 2 to 32 characters in length and can contain letters, digits, and underscores ( _). It must start with a letter.IDC The IDC of the zone.

Selection Method Select Manual and select the server you just added. IP Manually select several IP addresses from the list. Root Server You can select an IP address as the host for the RootService. Zone Priority Rankings The priorities of the zones. This priority order affects the priority order of the primary zone of the sys tenant. The left-side list shows all zones in the cluster. - You can select one or more zones from the box on the left side to add them to the box on the right side. By default, the priority of a zone selected first is higher than that of the zone selected later. Zones selected at the same time have the same priority.
- After you add the zones to the box on the right side, you can also drag them upward or downward to adjust their priorities. The zones in the box on the right are sorted by priority in descending order.
Notice
- If a primary zone is specified, the region where the primary zone is located must have at least two zones and at least two full-featured replicas, with one replica for each zone.
