Checklist:
NEW primary: db1181
OLD primary: db1136
- Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db1136.eqiad.wmnet h=db1181.eqiad.wmnet
Failover prep:
- Silence alerts on all hosts:
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s7 T306001" 'A:db-section-s7'
- Set NEW primary with weight 0
sudo dbctl instance db1181 set-weight 0 sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db1181 with weight 0 T306001"
- Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
sudo db-switchover --timeout=15 --only-slave-move db1136 db1181
- Disable puppet on both nodes
sudo cumin 'db1136* or db1181*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T306001"'
- Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/783819/
Failover:
- Log the failover:
!log Starting s7 eqiad failover from db1136 to db1181 - T306001
- Set section read-only:
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s7 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T306001" sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set s7 eqiad as read-only for maintenance - T306001"
- Check s7 is indeed read-only
- Switch primaries:
sudo db-switchover --skip-slave-move db1136 db1181 echo "===== db1136 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db1136 -e 'show slave status\G' echo "===== db1181 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db1181 -e 'show slave status\G'
- Promote NEW primary in dbctl, and remove read-only
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s7 set-master db1181 sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s7 rw sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db1181 to s7 primary and set section read-write T306001"
- Restart puppet on both hosts:
sudo cumin 'db1136* or db1181*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T306001"'
Clean up tasks:
- Clean up heartbeat table(s).
- change events for query killer:
events_coredb_master.sql on the new primary db1181 events_coredb_slave.sql on the new slave db1136
- Update DNS: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/783820
- Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
sudo dbctl instance db1136 set-candidate-master --section s7 true sudo dbctl instance db1181 set-candidate-master --section s7 false (dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c untag -i db1181 --tag name=candidate (dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c tag -i db1136 --tag name=candidate
- Check zarcillo was updated
- db-switchover should do this. If it fails, do it manually: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P13956
- (If needed): Depool db1136 for maintenance.
sudo dbctl instance db1136 depool sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db1136 T306001"
- Apply outstanding schema changes to db1136 (if any) T306001#7863050
- Update/resolve this ticket.
