Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When: During a pre-defined DBA maintenance windows

Affected wikis:: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s6.dblist

Checklist:

NEW primary: db2229
OLD primary: db2214

  • Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db2214.codfw.wmnet h=db2229.codfw.wmnet

Failover prep:

  • Silence alerts on all hosts:
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s6 T389382" 'A:db-section-s6'
  • Set NEW primary with weight 0
sudo dbctl instance db2229 set-weight 0
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db2229 with weight 0 T389382"
  • Depool NEW from any specific group (API, vslow, dump) if present.
sudo dbctl instance db2229 edit
# If some changes were made:
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Remove db2229 from API/vslow/dump T389382"
  • Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --replicating-master --read-only-master --only-slave-move db2214 db2229
  • Disable puppet on both nodes
sudo cumin 'db2214* or db2229*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T389382"'

Failover:

  • Log the failover:
!log Starting s6 codfw failover from db2214 to db2229 - T389382
  • Switch primaries:
sudo db-switchover --replicating-master --read-only-master --skip-slave-move db2214 db2229
echo "===== db2214 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db2214 -e 'show slave status\G'
echo "===== db2229 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db2229 -e 'show slave status\G'
  • Promote NEW primary in dbctl
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s6 set-master db2229
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db2229 to s6 primary T389382"
  • Clean up heartbeat table(s).
sudo db-mysql db2229 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db2214%';"
  • Restart puppet on both hosts:
sudo cumin 'db2214* or db2229*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T389382"'

Clean up tasks:

  • change events for query killer:
curl -sS 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/software/+/refs/heads/master/dbtools/events_coredb_master.sql?format=TEXT' | base64 -d | sudo db-mysql db2229
curl -sS 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/software/+/refs/heads/master/dbtools/events_coredb_slave.sql?format=TEXT' | base64 -d | sudo db-mysql db2214
  • Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
sudo dbctl instance db2214 set-candidate-master --section s6 true
sudo dbctl instance db2229 set-candidate-master --section s6 false
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c untag -i db2229 --tag name=candidate'
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c tag -i db2214 --tag name=candidate'
sudo db-mysql db1215 zarcillo -e "select * from masters where section = 's6';"
  • (If needed): Depool db2214 for maintenance.
sudo dbctl instance db2214 depool
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db2214 T389382"
  • Change db2214 weight to mimic the previous weight db2229:
sudo dbctl instance db2214 edit
  • Update/resolve this ticket.

Done - in the middle of the switchover the old master, db2214, crashed. Needs to be recloned.
