Switchover expects one or two servers as argument, one (the new
master) if there is no master and two (the new master, and the
current master) if there currently is a master.
The procedure is as follows:
- Stop monitor
- Check that provided arguments are reasonable.
- If there is no master currently, then only one argument is
accepted.
- If there is a master, then it must also be specified.
This is to prevent pathological cases where the situation has
changed after the admin has issued the switchover command.
- Check the failover mode and disable it.
- Perform the failover.
- If succeeded, enable failover if it was.
- If it failed, if failover was enabled, do not enable it and log
an alert. If failover was not enabled, just log an error.
