I'm sorry to have to disagree here. Shutting down the master in my book means you're upgrading it, minor or major or
thebox under it. It's not a frequent event. More frequent than a crash but still.
Now the master is offline, you have a standby, and you're restarting it too, but you don't mean that as a switchover.
I'mwith Simon here, the WTF is "are you in search of trouble?" more than anything else. I don't think shutting down the
standbywhile the master is offline is considered as a good practice if your goal is HA...
