**When:** During a pre-defined DBA maintenance windows
**Affected wikis:**: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s8.dblist
**Checklist:**
NEW primary: db1209
OLD primary: db1126
[x] Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
```
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db1126.eqiad.wmnet h=db1209.eqiad.wmnet
```
**Failover prep:**
[x] Silence alerts on all hosts:
```
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s8 T349077" 'A:db-section-s8'
```
[x] Set NEW primary with weight 0 (and depool it from API or vslow/dump groups if it is present).
```
sudo dbctl instance db1209 set-weight 0
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db1209 with weight 0 T349077"
```
[x] Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
```
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --replicating-master --read-only-master --only-slave-move db1126 db1209
```
[x] Disable puppet on both nodes
```
sudo cumin 'db1126* or db1209*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T349077"'
```
[] Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: FIXME
**Failover:**
[] Log the failover:
```
!log Starting s8 eqiad failover from db1126 to db1209 - T349077
```
[] Switch primaries:
```
sudo db-switchover --replicating-master --read-only-master --skip-slave-move db1126 db1209
echo "===== db1126 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db1126 -e 'show slave status\G'
echo "===== db1209 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db1209 -e 'show slave status\G'
```
[] Promote NEW primary in dbctl
```
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s8 set-master db1209
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db1209 to s8 primary T349077"
```
[] Restart puppet on both hosts:
```
sudo cumin 'db1126* or db1209*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T349077"'
```
**Clean up tasks:**
[] Clean up heartbeat table(s).
```
sudo db-mysql db1209 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db1126%';"
```
[] change events for query killer:
```
events_coredb_master.sql on the new primary db1209
events_coredb_slave.sql on the new slave db1126
```
[] Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
```
sudo dbctl instance db1126 set-candidate-master --section s8 true
sudo dbctl instance db1209 set-candidate-master --section s8 false
(dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c untag -i db1209 --tag name=candidate
(dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c tag -i db1126 --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 = 's8';"
```
[] (If needed): Depool db1126 for maintenance.
```
sudo dbctl instance db1126 depool
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db1126 T349077"
```
[] Change db1126 weight to mimic the previous weight db1209:
```
sudo dbctl instance db1126 edit
```
[] Apply outstanding schema changes to db1126 (if any)
[] set db1126 weight to 275 (initial weight of db1126)
[] Update/resolve this ticket.
