Copying a DB cluster parameter group - Amazon Relational Database Service

Copying a DB cluster parameter group

You can copy custom DB cluster parameter groups that you create. Copying a parameter group is a convenient solution when you have already created a DB cluster parameter group and you want to include most of the custom parameters and values from that group in a new DB cluster parameter group. You can copy a DB cluster parameter group by using the AWS CLI copy-db-cluster-parameter-group command or the RDS API CopyDBClusterParameterGroup operation.

After you copy a DB cluster parameter group, wait at least 5 minutes before creating a DB cluster that uses that DB cluster parameter group. Doing this allows Amazon RDS to fully copy the parameter group before it is used by the new DB cluster. You can use the Parameter groups page in the Amazon RDS console or the describe-db-cluster-parameters command to verify that your DB cluster parameter group is created.

Note

You can't copy a default parameter group. However, you can create a new parameter group that is based on a default parameter group.

You can't copy a DB cluster parameter group to a different AWS account or AWS Region.

To copy a DB cluster parameter group

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Parameter groups.

  3. In the list, choose the custom parameter group that you want to copy.

  4. For Parameter group actions, choose Copy.

  5. In New DB parameter group identifier, enter a name for the new parameter group.

  6. In Description, enter a description for the new parameter group.

  7. Choose Copy.

To copy a DB cluster parameter group, use the AWS CLI copy-db-cluster-parameter-group command with the following required parameters:

  • --source-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier

  • --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier

  • --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-description

The following example creates a new DB cluster parameter group named mygroup2 that is a copy of the DB cluster parameter group mygroup1.

Example

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds copy-db-cluster-parameter-group \
    --source-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier mygroup1 \
    --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier mygroup2 \
    --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-description "DB parameter group 2"

For Windows:

aws rds copy-db-cluster-parameter-group ^
    --source-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier mygroup1 ^
    --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-identifier mygroup2 ^
    --target-db-cluster-parameter-group-description "DB parameter group 2"

To copy a DB cluster parameter group, use the RDS API CopyDBClusterParameterGroup operation with the following required parameters:

  • SourceDBClusterParameterGroupIdentifier

  • TargetDBClusterParameterGroupIdentifier

  • TargetDBClusterParameterGroupDescription
