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/s6.dblist
Checklist:
NEW primary: db2129
OLD primary: db2114
- Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db2114.codfw.wmnet h=db2129.codfw.wmnet
Failover prep:
- Silence alerts on all hosts:
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s6 T355739" 'A:db-section-s6'
- Set NEW primary with weight 0 (and depool it from API or vslow/dump groups if it is present).
sudo dbctl instance db2129 set-weight 0 sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db2129 with weight 0 T355739"
- Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --only-slave-move db2114 db2129
- Disable puppet on both nodes
sudo cumin 'db2114* or db2129*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T355739"'
- Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/992442
Failover:
- Log the failover:
!log Starting s6 codfw failover from db2114 to db2129 - T355739
- Set section read-only:
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s6 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T355739" sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s6 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T355739" sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set s6 codfw as read-only for maintenance - T355739"
- Check s6 is indeed read-only
- Switch primaries:
sudo db-switchover --skip-slave-move db2114 db2129 echo "===== db2114 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db2114 -e 'show slave status\G' echo "===== db2129 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db2129 -e 'show slave status\G'
- Promote NEW primary in dbctl, and remove read-only
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s6 set-master db2129 sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s6 rw sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s6 rw sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db2129 to s6 primary and set section read-write T355739"
- Restart puppet on both hosts:
sudo cumin 'db2114* or db2129*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T355739"'
Clean up tasks:
- Clean up heartbeat table(s).
sudo db-mysql db2129 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db2114%';"
- change events for query killer:
events_coredb_master.sql on the new primary db2129 events_coredb_slave.sql on the new slave db2114
- Update DNS: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/992443
- Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
sudo dbctl instance db2114 set-candidate-master --section s6 true sudo dbctl instance db2129 set-candidate-master --section s6 false (dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c untag -i db2129 --tag name=candidate (dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c tag -i db2114 --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 db1215 zarcillo -e "select * from masters where section = 's6';"
- (If needed): Depool db2114 for maintenance.
sudo dbctl instance db2114 depool sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db2114 T355739"
- Change db2114 weight to mimic the previous weight db2129:
sudo dbctl instance db2114 edit
- Apply outstanding schema changes to db2114 (if any)
- Update/resolve this ticket.
