Hi, for your DB migration problem you should take a look at South[0]. As for your 'under maintenance' step you will have to do that manually or use some kind of a tool to automate it, as well as other steps for the upgrade. There are many such tools, Fabric[1] and Chef[2] being two of the most popular.
