**When:** During a pre-defined DBA maintenance windows
**Prerequisites:** https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MariaDB/Primary_switchover
[] Team calendar invite
**Affected wikis:**: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s6.dblist
**Checklist:**
NEW primary: db1201
OLD primary: db1173
[] Check configuration differences between new and old primary:
```
sudo pt-config-diff --defaults-file /root/.my.cnf h=db1173.eqiad.wmnet h=db1201.eqiad.wmnet
```
**Failover prep:**
[] Silence alerts on all hosts:
```
sudo cookbook sre.hosts.downtime --hours 1 -r "Primary switchover s6 TICKID" 'A:db-section-s6'
```
[] Set NEW primary with weight 0
```
sudo dbctl instance db1201 set-weight 0
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set db1201 with weight 0 TICKID"
```
[] Depool NEW from any specific group (API, vslow, dump) if present.
```
sudo dbctl instance db1201 edit
# If some changes were made:
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Remove db1201 from API/vslow/dump TICKID"
```
[] Topology changes, move all replicas under NEW primary
```
sudo db-switchover --timeout=25 --only-slave-move db1173 db1201
```
[] Disable puppet on both nodes
```
sudo cumin 'db1173* or db1201*' 'disable-puppet "primary switchover TICKID"'
```
[] Merge gerrit puppet change to promote NEW primary: FIXME
**Failover:**
[] Log the failover:
```
!log Starting s6 eqiad failover from db1173 to db1201 - TICKID
```
[] Set section read-only:
```
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s6 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - TICKID"
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s6 ro "Maintenance until 06:15 UTC - TICKID"
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Set s6 eqiad as read-only for maintenance - TICKID"
```
[] Check s6 is indeed read-only
[] Switch primaries:
```
sudo db-switchover --skip-slave-move db1173 db1201
echo "===== db1173 (OLD)"; sudo db-mysql db1173 -e 'show slave status\G'
echo "===== db1201 (NEW)"; sudo db-mysql db1201 -e 'show slave status\G'
```
[] Promote NEW primary in dbctl, and remove read-only
```
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s6 set-master db1201
sudo dbctl --scope eqiad section s6 rw
sudo dbctl --scope codfw section s6 rw
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Promote db1201 to s6 primary and set section read-write TICKID"
```
[] Restart puppet on both hosts:
```
sudo cumin 'db1173* or db1201*' 'run-puppet-agent -e "primary switchover TICKID"'
```
**Clean up tasks:**
[] Clean up heartbeat table(s).
```
sudo db-mysql db1201 heartbeat -e "delete from heartbeat where file like 'db1173%';"
```
[] 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 db1201
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 db1173
```
[] Update DNS: FIXME
[] Update candidate primary dbctl and orchestrator notes
```
sudo dbctl instance db1173 set-candidate-master --section s6 true
sudo dbctl instance db1201 set-candidate-master --section s6 false
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c untag -i db1201 --tag name=candidate'
sudo cumin 'dborch*' 'orchestrator-client -c tag -i db1173 --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 = 's6';"
```
[] (If needed): Depool db1173 for maintenance.
```
sudo dbctl instance db1173 depool
sudo dbctl config commit -m "Depool db1173 TICKID"
```
[] Change db1173 weight to mimic the previous weight db1201:
```
sudo dbctl instance db1173 edit
```
[] Apply outstanding schema changes to db1173 (if any)
[] Update/resolve this ticket.
