Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When: During a pre-defined DBA maintenance windows

Affected wikis:: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s2.dblist

Checklist:

NEW primary: db2207
OLD primary: db2204

  • Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db2204.codfw.wmnet h=db2207.codfw.wmnet

Failover prep:

  • Silence alerts on all hosts:
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s2 T402276" 'A:db-section-s2'
  • Set NEW primary with weight 0
sudo dbctl instance db2207 set-weight 0
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db2207 with weight 0 T402276"
  • Depool NEW from any specific group (API, vslow, dump) if present.
sudo dbctl instance db2207 edit
# If some changes were made:
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Remove db2207 from API/vslow/dump T402276"
  • Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --replicating-master --read-only-master --only-slave-move db2204 db2207
  • Disable puppet on both nodes
sudo cumin 'db2204* or db2207*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T402276"'
  • Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: FIXME

Failover:

  • Log the failover:
!log Starting s2 codfw failover from db2204 to db2207 - T402276
  • Switch primaries:
sudo db-switchover --replicating-master --read-only-master --skip-slave-move db2204 db2207
echo "===== db2204 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db2204 -e 'show slave status\G'
echo "===== db2207 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db2207 -e 'show slave status\G'
  • Promote NEW primary in dbctl
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s2 set-master db2207
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db2207 to s2 primary T402276"
  • Clean up heartbeat table(s).
sudo db-mysql db2207 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db2204%';"
  • Restart puppet on both hosts:
sudo cumin 'db2204* or db2207*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T402276"'

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 db2207
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 db2204
  • Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
sudo dbctl instance db2204 set-candidate-master --section s2 true
sudo dbctl instance db2207 set-candidate-master --section s2 false
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c untag -i db2207 --tag name=candidate'
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c tag -i db2204 --tag name=candidate'
sudo db-mysql db1215 zarcillo -e "select * from masters where section = 's2';"
  • (If needed): Depool db2204 for maintenance.
sudo dbctl instance db2204 depool
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db2204 T402276"
  • Change db2204 weight to mimic the previous weight db2207 (main/api/vslow/dumps):
sudo dbctl instance db2204 edit
  • Apply outstanding schema changes to db2204 (if any)
  • Update/resolve this ticket.
