Resizing Nodes for a Cluster

OCI Cache supports changing the number of nodes for an existing cluster if you need to scale up or down to meet your requirements.

OCI Cache supports a maximum of five nodes per cluster. One node is be configured as the primary, any more nodes are configured as replicas. If you increase the number of nodes for the cluster, you improve redundancy. For example, a three-node cluster gives you dual redundancy, with two replicas. Increasing the cluster node count to greater than three improves readability.
Note

You can only resize one configuration setting at a time, and you need to wait for a resize operation to complete before you can start a new resize operation.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Databases. Under OCI Cache, click Clusters.

    2. Under List scope, select the compartment that contains the cluster.

    3. In the Clusters list, click the name of the cluster you want to adjust the number of nodes for.

    4. On the cluster details page, click Resize nodes

    5. Specify a number between one and five for Number of nodes and then click Resize.

      You can increase or decrease the number of nodes for a cluster.

  • Use the oci redis redis-cluster update command and required parameters to resize the nodes for a cluster:

    oci redis redis-cluster update --redis-cluster-id cluster_ocid --node-count node_count [OPTIONS]

    Run the UpdateRedisCluster operation to resize the nodes for a cluster.
