- 3: read-only instance.
- 4: disaster recovery instance.
- 5. cloned instance. Note: For a cloned instance, RestoreTime is required.
Father No String Parent instance ID.
- This parameter is required when the value of the Clone parameter is set to 3 or 4, indicating a read-only or disaster recovery instance.

InstanceName No String Instance name. Only Chinese characters, letters, digits, underscores (_), and delimiters (-) are supported, with a length of 128 characters. When database instances are purchased in batches, the automatic ascending feature is supported through the custom naming pattern string and numeric suffix to set instance names efficiently.
- Basic mode: prefix + automatic ascending number (starting from 1 by default). Only a custom instance name prefix is required for lnstanceName. For example, it can be set to cmgo. If the purchase quantity is set to 5, after purchase, the instances will be sequentially named cmgo1, cmgo2, cmgo3, cmgo4, and cmgo5, respectively.
- Custom starting number mode: prefix + {R:x} (x is the custom starting number). Prefix{R:x} is required for InstanceName. For example, cmgo{R:3}. If the purchase quantity is set to 5, the instance names will be sequentially named cmgo3, cmgo4, cmgo5, cmgo6, and cmgo7.
- Composite pattern string: prefix 1{R:x} + prefix 2{R:y}+ ⋯ + fixed suffix, where x and y are the starting numbers of each prefix. A composite pattern string is required for instanceName. For example, cmgo{R:10}_node{R:12}_db. If the batch purchase quantity is set to 5, the instances will be sequentially named cmgo10_node12_db, cmgo11_node13_db, cmgo12_node14_db, cmgo13_node15_db, and cmgo14_node16_db.

- The DescribeSpecInfo API can be called to obtain AZs planned for TencentDB for MongoDB instances in different regions, helping you specify valid AZs.
- Nodes in multi-AZ deployment mode can only be deployed in 3 different AZs. Deploying most nodes of a cluster in the same AZ is not supported. For example, a 3-node cluster does not support deploying 2 nodes in the same AZ.

- For instances in multi-AZ deployment mode, the value range is [6,32].
ReadonlyNodeNum No Integer Number of read-only nodes. Value ranges: [0,5].
ReadonlyNodeAvailabilityZoneList.N No Array of String Array of AZs of read-only nodes. This parameter is required for instances in multi-AZ deployment mode when ReadonlyNodeNum is not set to 0.
HiddenZone No String AZ where the hidden node resides, which is required in cross-AZ instance deployment.
