When: During a pre-defined DBA maintenance windows
Prerequisites: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MariaDB/Primary_switchover
- Team calendar invite
Affected wikis:: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s5.dblist
Checklist:
NEW primary: db1100
OLD primary: db1130
- Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db1130.eqiad.wmnet h=db1100.eqiad.wmnet
Failover prep:
- Silence alerts on all hosts:
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s5 T326133" 'A:db-section-s5'
- Set NEW primary with weight 0 (and depool it from API or vslow/dump groups if it is present).
sudo dbctl instance db1100 set-weight 0 sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db1100 with weight 0 T326133"
- Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --only-slave-move db1130 db1100
- Disable puppet on both nodes
sudo cumin 'db1130* or db1100*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T326133"'
- Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/874826
Failover:
- Log the failover:
!log Starting s5 eqiad failover from db1130 to db1100 - T326133
- Set section read-only:
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s5 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T326133" sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set s5 eqiad as read-only for maintenance - T326133"
- Check s5 is indeed read-only
- Switch primaries:
sudo db-switchover --skip-slave-move db1130 db1100 echo "===== db1130 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db1130 -e 'show slave status\G' echo "===== db1100 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db1100 -e 'show slave status\G'
- Promote NEW primary in dbctl, and remove read-only
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s5 set-master db1100 sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s5 rw sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db1100 to s5 primary and set section read-write T326133"
- Restart puppet on both hosts:
sudo cumin 'db1130* or db1100*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T326133"'
Clean up tasks:
- Clean up heartbeat table(s).
sudo db-mysql db1100 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db1130%';"
- change events for query killer:
events_coredb_master.sql on the new primary db1100 events_coredb_slave.sql on the new slave db1130
- Update DNS: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/dns/+/874827
- Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
sudo dbctl instance db1130 set-candidate-master --section s5 true sudo dbctl instance db1100 set-candidate-master --section s5 false (dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c untag -i db1100 --tag name=candidate (dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c tag -i db1130 --tag name=candidate
- Check zarcillo was updated
- db-switchover should do this. If it fails, do it manually: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P13956
sudo db-mysql db1115 zarcillo -e "select * from masters where section = 's5';"
- (If needed): Depool db1130 for maintenance.
sudo dbctl instance db1130 depool sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db1130 T326133"
- Change db1130 weight to mimic the previous weight db1100:
sudo dbctl instance db1130 edit
- Apply outstanding schema changes to db1130 (if any)
- Update/resolve this ticket.
