Add optional "pause replication" step

Katrin Leinweber requested to merge katrinleinweber-gtlb-master-patch-07669 into master

What does this MR do?

This is to discuss whether we should recommend the same "Optional. Pause replication …" step that we recommend for Geo-GitLab upgrades.

The rational given in this doc below the next command snippet …

Wait for the primary database to finish upgrading before beginning the following step, so the secondary can remain ready as a backup.

… is essentially the same, so should we be more explicit here by adding the optional step and link (see diff)?

In any case, it seems clear at this point that pausing replication isn't technically required, correct?

Author's checklist

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"feature"
  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
