**When:** During a pre-defined DBA maintenance windows
**Prerequisites:** https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MariaDB/Primary_switchover
[x] Team calendar invite
**Affected wikis:**: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s7.dblist
**Checklist:**
NEW primary: db1181
OLD primary: db1236
[x] Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
```
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db1236.eqiad.wmnet h=db1181.eqiad.wmnet
```
**Failover prep:**
[x] Silence alerts on all hosts:
```
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s7 T367857" 'A:db-section-s7'
```
[x] Set NEW primary with weight 0
```
sudo dbctl instance db1181 set-weight 0
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db1181 with weight 0 T367857"
```
[x] Depool NEW from any specific group (API, vslow, dump) if present.
```
sudo dbctl instance db1181 edit
# If some changes were made:
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Remove db1181 from API/vslow/dump T367857"
```
[x] Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
```
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --only-slave-move db1236 db1181
```
[x] Disable puppet on both nodes
```
sudo cumin 'db1236* or db1181*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover T367857"'
```
[x] Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/1047022
**Failover:**
[] Log the failover:
```
!log Starting s7 eqiad failover from db1236 to db1181 - T367857
```
[] Set section read-only:
```
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s7 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T367857"
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s7 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - T367857"
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set s7 eqiad as read-only for maintenance - T367857"
```
[] Check s7 is indeed read-only
[] Switch primaries:
```
sudo db-switchover --skip-slave-move db1236 db1181
echo "===== db1236 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db1236 -e 'show slave status\G'
echo "===== db1181 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db1181 -e 'show slave status\G'
```
[] Promote NEW primary in dbctl, and remove read-only
```
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s7 set-master db1181
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s7 rw
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s7 rw
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db1181 to s7 primary and set section read-write T367857"
```
[] Restart puppet on both hosts:
```
sudo cumin 'db1236* or db1181*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover T367857"'
```
**Clean up tasks:**
[] Clean up heartbeat table(s).
```
sudo db-mysql db1181 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db1236%';"
```
[] change events for query killer:
```
events_coredb_master.sql on the new primary db1181
events_coredb_slave.sql on the new slave db1236
```
[] Update DNS: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/dns/+/1047023
[] Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
```
sudo dbctl instance db1236 set-candidate-master --section s7 true
sudo dbctl instance db1181 set-candidate-master --section s7 false
(dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c untag -i db1181 --tag name=candidate
(dborch1001): sudo orchestrator-client -c tag -i db1236 --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 = 's7';"
```
[] (If needed): Depool db1236 for maintenance.
```
sudo dbctl instance db1236 depool
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db1236 T367857"
```
[] Change db1236 weight to mimic the previous weight db1181:
```
sudo dbctl instance db1236 edit
```
[] Apply outstanding schema changes to db1236 (if any)
[] Update/resolve this ticket.
