Managing Shards and Replicas

This section describes how to query the shards and replicas of a DCS Redis 4.0/5.0/6.0 instance and how to manually promote a replica to master.

Currently, this function is supported only by Redis Cluster DCS Redis 4.0 or 5.0 instances.

  • A Redis Cluster instance has multiple shards. Each shard has one master and one replica by default. On the Shards and Replicas page, you can view the sharding information and manually switch the master and replica roles. For details about the number of shards corresponding to different instance specifications, see Redis Cluster.
