To switchover from a master to a slave in MySQL, you can use the CHANGE MASTER TO
command. This command allows you to change the master server that a slave is replicating from.
Here is an example of how you might use this command to switchover from a master to a slave:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='new_master_host',
MASTER_PORT=3306,
MASTER_USER='replication_user',
MASTER_PASSWORD='replication_password';
START SLAVE;
This will stop the slave, change the master that it is replicating from, and then restart the slave with the new configuration. You should also make sure to update any other relevant settings, such as the replicate_do_db
and replicate_ignore_db
options, to ensure that the slave is replicating the correct databases.
