Check that the replication on the consumers is in sync with the rest of the topology before
migrating another hub. A server that has just been migrated does not have a change log, and can
therefore not update consumer servers that are out of sync. Allow the topology to stabilize and
all servers to synchronize before migrating the next supplier server.
Migrating the Masters
For each master in the replicated topology:
1. If you have client applications that write to the master you want to migrate, reroute these
applications to write to another master in the topology.
2. Ensure that the master is no longer receiving write requests. You can do this by enabling
read-only mode on the master.
3. Check that replication is synchronized between the master and all its consumers.
Migration of the change log is not supported if you are migrating manually, so the preceding
two steps are mandatory in this case. Although automatic migration does migrate the
change log, you should still perform the above steps to avoid the risk of losing changes.
4. Disable any replication agreements to and from the master you want to migrate.
5. Stop the master.
6. Migrate the master according to the instructions under
7. Start the master.
