Please use the +new command `REPLICAOF`. The command `SLAVEOF` will continue to work for +backward compatibility. + +The `SLAVEOF` command can change the replication settings of a replica on the +fly. If a Redis server is already acting as replica, the command `SLAVEOF` NO +ONE will turn off the replication, turning the Redis server into a MASTER. In +the proper form `SLAVEOF` hostname port will make the server a replica of +another server listening at the specified hostname and port. + +If a server is already a replica of some master, `SLAVEOF` hostname port will +stop the replication against the old server and start the synchronization +against the new one, discarding the old dataset. + +The form `SLAVEOF` NO ONE will stop replication, turning the server into a +MASTER, but will not discard the replication. So, if the old master stops +working, it is possible to turn the replica into a master and set the +application to use this new master in read/write. Later when the other Redis +server is fixed, it can be reconfigured to work as a replica. + +@return + +@simple-string-reply |
