Switch over a MongoDB cluster
You can initiate a switchover for a MongoDB ReplicaSet. Then KubeBlocks modifies the instance roles.
Before you start
Make sure the cluster is running normally.
Check whether the following role probe parameters exist to verify whether the role probe is enabled.
kubectl get cd mongodb -o yaml
>
probes:
roleProbe:
failureThreshold: 3
periodSeconds: 2
timeoutSeconds: 2
Initiate the switchover
You can switch over a secondary of a MongoDB ReplicaSet to the primary role, and the former primary instance to a secondary.
The value of instanceName
decides whether a new primary instance is specified for the switchover.
Switchover with no specified primary instance
kubectl apply -f -<<EOF
apiVersion: apps.kubeblocks.io/v1alpha1
kind: OpsRequest
metadata:
name: mycluster-switchover-jhkgl
namespace: demo
spec:
clusterRef: mycluster
type: Switchover
switchover:
- componentName: mongodb
instanceName: '*'
>>Switchover with a specified new primary instance
kubectl apply -f -<<EOF
apiVersion: apps.kubeblocks.io/v1alpha1
kind: OpsRequest
metadata:
name: mycluster-switchover-jhkgl
namespace: demo
spec:
clusterRef: mycluster
type: Switchover
switchover:
- componentName: mongodb
instanceName: 'mycluster-mongodb-2'
>>
Verify the switchover
Check the instance status to verify whether the switchover is performed successfully.
kubectl get pods -n demo
