I think that should do it. There might be another option as well to make
this easier. From the top:
1. Server A is master (sync_client) replicating to Server B (sync_server)
2. Server A dies/is stopped
3. Restart Server B after adding this to the imapd.conf
sync_log: 1
4. All IMAP/POP/LMTP connections are directed to Server B
Now Server B should be logging all changes to it's sync log, so you
don't have to sync_client -u all users. Then to change back, follow from
step 6-11 above.
It should be possible to leave the "sync_log: 1" enabled on all master and
replica systems. The IMAP/POP/LMTP processes will only start to log events
when a system becomes a master.
My original code allows a mixture of master and replica mailboxes on each
Cyrus backend system (with a Perdition like proxy sitting in front to
direct logins to specific backend servers).
This makes it possible to push inactive accounts back and forth without
any downtime. It doesn't work with shared mailboxes, which is why Cyrus
2.3 only supports simple master-replica pairs.
