## 2. ZERO-DOWNTIME MIGRATION STRATEGY

### 2.1 MIGRATION ARCHITECTURE PRINCIPLES

**Parallel Deployment Strategy:**
1. **Primary System Continues Operating** - Original services stay online
2. **Secondary System Deployed** - New infrastructure deployed in parallel
3. **Incremental Traffic Migration** - Services moved one-by-one with validation
4. **Health Check Gates** - No service migrated until health confirmed
5. **Instant Rollback Capability** - Original system ready for immediate restore

**Service Continuity Mechanisms:**
- **DNS-Based Traffic Switching** - Use AdGuard/DNS to redirect traffic
- **Load Balancer Approach** - Nginx/HAProxy for HTTP services
- **Database Replication** - Master-slave setup during migration
- **Storage Mirroring** - Real-time data sync before cutover

### 2.2 CRITICAL SERVICE PROTECTION STRATEGY

#### DNS Services - ZERO INTERRUPTION
**Current State:** AdGuard (port 53) + Unbound backend on omv800
**Protection Strategy:**
1. **Pre-Migration:** Deploy secondary AdGuard on new system
2. **Sync Configuration:** Export/import AdGuard settings and block lists
3. **Parallel Operation:** Both DNS servers operational with identical config
4. **DHCP Update:** Change DHCP DNS assignment to new server
5. **Validation Period:** Monitor for 24h before decommissioning old
6. **Rollback:** Instant DHCP revert if issues detected

**DNS Failover Configuration:**
```yaml
dhcp_dns_servers:
  primary: "192.168.50.NEW_SERVER"
  secondary: "192.168.50.229"  # Current omv800 as backup
  rollback_ready: true
```

#### Home Assistant - AUTOMATION CONTINUITY
**Current State:** Core system on jonathan-2518f5u with device integrations
**Protection Strategy:**
1. **Configuration Backup:** Full Home Assistant config export
2. **Database Migration:** Export/import HA database
3. **Device Re-pairing:** Z-Wave, Zigbee, WiFi device migration plan
4. **Parallel Testing:** New HA instance with test devices first
5. **Staged Migration:** Move devices in groups with validation
6. **Emergency Restore:** Keep old instance ready for 48h

**Device Migration Priority:**
```yaml
critical_devices:
  - security_sensors
  - hvac_controls
  - lighting_controllers
medium_priority:
  - entertainment_systems
  - convenience_automations
low_priority:
  - monitoring_sensors
  - experimental_integrations
```

#### Storage Services - DATA INTEGRITY GUARANTEED
**Current State:** NFS exports, Samba shares on omv800
**Protection Strategy:**
1. **Live Sync:** Real-time rsync to new storage during migration
2. **Snapshot Consistency:** LVM snapshots before any changes
3. **Access Point Switching:** Change mount points after full sync
4. **Validation Period:** 72h parallel access before decommission
5. **Data Verification:** Checksum verification on critical data

### 2.3 MIGRATION PHASES WITH REDUNDANCY

**Objective:** Deploy supporting services with zero impact

**Services to Deploy:**
1. **Container Runtime** - Docker + orchestration
2. **Monitoring Stack** - Netdata, Portainer agents
3. **Network Services** - Secondary DNS (not active yet)
4. **Storage Preparation** - Mount points, permissions

**Validation Gates:**

4. Test from multiple network segments

**Cutover Process:**
1. Update DHCP DNS servers (primary = new, secondary = old)
2. Force DHCP renewal across network
3. Monitor DNS queries for 2 hours
4. Validate all services still accessible

**Health Checks:**
```bash
# DNS Resolution Validation
nslookup google.com NEW_DNS_IP
nslookup homeassistant.local NEW_DNS_IP
dig @NEW_DNS_IP +short blocked-domain.com  # Should return block page
```

**Rollback:** Revert DHCP DNS assignment (30 second operation)

#### PHASE 3: Storage Services (Day 4-7)
**Objective:** Migrate file services with continuous availability

**NFS Migration Strategy:**
1. **Parallel NFS Server:** Deploy NFS on new system
2. **Live Data Sync:** Continuous rsync from old to new
3. **Export Preparation:** Configure identical export paths
4. **Client Testing:** Mount test directories from new server
5. **Staged Cutover:** Migrate mount points by service priority

**Samba Migration Strategy:**
1. **Configuration Replication:** Export Samba config and users
2. **Share Synchronization:** Real-time sync of all shares
3. **Authentication Testing:** Verify user access before cutover
