Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When: During a pre-defined DBA maintenance windows

Prerequisites: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MariaDB/Primary_switchover

Affected wikis:: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s8.dblist

Checklist:

NEW primary: db1193
OLD primary: db1209

  • Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db1209.eqiad.wmnet h=db1193.eqiad.wmnet

Failover prep:

  • Silence alerts on all hosts:
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s8 T426095" 'A:db-section-s8'
  • Set NEW primary with weight 0
sudo dbctl instance db1193 set-weight 0
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db1193 with weight 0 T426095"
  • Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary, open orchestartor to monitor the process and check it at the end.
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --only-slave-move db1209 db1193
  • Disable puppet on both nodes
sudo cumin 'db1209* or db1193*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T426095"'
  • Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: FIXME

Failover:

  • Log the failover:
!log Starting s8 eqiad failover from db1209 to db1193 - T426095
  • Set section read-only:
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s8 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T426095"
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s8 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T426095"
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set s8 eqiad as read-only for maintenance - T426095"
  • Check s8 is indeed read-only
  • Switch primaries:
sudo db-switchover --skip-slave-move db1209 db1193
echo "===== db1209 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db1209 -e 'show slave status\G'
echo "===== db1193 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db1193 -e 'show slave status\G'
  • Promote NEW primary in dbctl, and remove read-only
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s8 set-master db1193
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s8 rw
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s8 rw
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db1193 to s8 primary and set section read-write T426095"
  • Clean up heartbeat table(s).
sudo db-mysql db1193 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db1209%';"
  • Restart puppet on both hosts:
sudo cumin 'db1209* or db1193*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T426095"'

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 db1193
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 db1209
  • Merge DNS change (ssh ns0.wikimedia.org): FIXME
sudo authdns-update
  • Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
sudo dbctl instance db1209 set-candidate-master --section s8 true
sudo dbctl instance db1193 set-candidate-master --section s8 false
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c untag -i db1193 --tag name=candidate'
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c tag -i db1209 --tag name=candidate'
sudo db-mysql db1215 zarcillo -e "select * from masters where section = 's8';"
  • Depool db1209 for maintenance.
sudo dbctl instance db1209 depool
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db1209 T426095"
  • Change db1209 weight to mimic the previous weight db1193:
sudo dbctl instance db1209 edit
  • Apply outstanding schema changes to db1209 (if any)
  • Slowly repool the db1209 if ready
sudo cookbook sre.mysql.pool -t T426095 -r "Repooling after switchover" db1209
  • Update/resolve this ticket.
