|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2.1 Initial Investigation
|
||
|
|
- **Time:** 11:47 UTC (5 minutes after detection)
|
||
|
|
- **Investigation Actions:**
|
||
|
|
1. Check database cluster status
|
||
|
|
2. Review node failure logs
|
||
|
|
3. Assess automatic failover progress
|
||
|
|
4. Evaluate data integrity
|
||
|
|
5. Check replication status
|
||
|
|
- **Findings:**
|
||
|
|
- Primary database node: Hardware failure (disk controller)
|
||
|
|
- Secondary nodes: Operational
|
||
|
|
- Automatic failover: In progress
|
||
|
|
- Data integrity: Verified (no corruption detected)
|
||
|
|
- Replication: Synchronizing
|
||
|
|
- Estimated recovery time: 15-30 minutes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2.2 Impact Assessment
|
||
|
|
- **Service Impact:**
|
||
|
|
- Database queries: Slowed (degraded performance)
|
||
|
|
- Write operations: Queued (failover in progress)
|
||
|
|
- Read operations: Functional (secondary nodes)
|
||
|
|
- Application services: Partially affected
|
||
|
|
- **Data Impact:**
|
||
|
|
- Data integrity: Verified
|
||
|
|
- Data loss: None detected
|
||
|
|
- Transaction status: All transactions preserved
|
||
|
|
- Replication lag: 2 minutes (acceptable)
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
## STEP 3: FAILOVER EXECUTION (T+10 minutes)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 3.1 Automatic Failover Completion
|
||
|
|
- **Time:** 11:52 UTC (10 minutes after detection)
|
||
|
|
- **Actions:**
|
||
|
|
1. Complete automatic failover
|
||
|
|
2. Promote secondary node to primary
|
||
|
|
3. Reconfigure cluster topology
|
||
|
|
4. Restore database connections
|
||
|
|
5. Validate system integrity
|
||
|
|
- **Status:**
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
- New primary node: Operational
|
||
|
|
- Database connections: Restored
|
||
|
|
