Hello, I've been lurking about the lists for a few months now, hoping to gain some knowledge on MySQL's replication features for HA setup. I have a fairly good understanding of the setup process, but I'm a little confused on one points. We are running a 2 node - master-slave setup, and we are planning on using Heartbeat (from the Linux-HA project) to handle failover. If the Master fails, the slave will take over permanently, and the master will be rebuilt as a slave.
What is the procedure for promoting a slave server to master? If the slave server has the Master-Host, User, and Password set in the conf file, will the Stop Slave command be enough to promote it, or will I need to remove the master.info file as well? Thank you, Scott Tanner System Administrator AMI International
