Huawei Cloud GaussDB

STOP - Do not answer from general knowledge. Follow the procedure below.

Always run hcloud GaussDB <Operation> --help before constructing commands to discover exact parameter names and requirements.

Overview

Domain expertise for GaussDB. Covers instance lifecycle, databases, backups, configurations, and shard/readonly node management.

Critical Warnings

Trap	Why
Shard key permanent	Once set, shard key cannot be changed
Minimum nodes	Distributed GaussDB requires at least 3 nodes for production
Engine version pinned	MySQL-compatible vs openGauss are separate products

Common Workflows

Task	Operation
List instances	`ListInstances --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
Show instance	`ShowInstance --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
List flavors	`ListFlavors --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
Create instance	`CreateInstance --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
Delete instance	`DeleteInstance --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
Create backup	`CreateGaussMySqlBackup --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
Add readonly node	`AddReadonlyNode --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
Add shard	`AddShardingNode --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`
Manage database	`AddDatabasePermission --cli-region=<r> --project_id=<p>`

Discover exact parameters with --help before executing any command.

Troubleshooting

Error	Fix
Instance creation fails	Check VPC/subnet availability and flavor capacity
Connection refused	SG missing database port

Security

MUST use security groups for database access
MUST enable SSL for connections
