As of v6.2.4, the default behavior for upgrade db has changed. It is now controlled by a new parameter that sets the default upgrade policy used to create new databases and to upgrade ones already in the cluster. To learn more, see [tune cluster default_redis_version]({{< relref "/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin/tune#tune-cluster" >}}).
As of Redis Software version 7.8.2, upgrade db will always upgrade modules.
| Parameters | Type/Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| db | db:<id> | |
| name | Database to upgrade | |
| and module | upgrade module command | Clause that allows the upgrade of a database and a specified Redis module in a single step with only one restart (can be specified multiple times). Deprecated as of Redis Software v7.8.2. |
| discard_data | Indicates that data will not be saved after the upgrade | |
| force | Forces upgrade and skips warnings and confirmations | |
| force_discard | Forces discard_data if replication or persistence is enabled | |
| keep_crdt_protocol_version | Keeps the current CRDT protocol version | |
| keep_redis_version | Upgrades to a new patch release, not to the latest major.minor version. Deprecated as of Redis Software v7.8.2. To upgrade modules without upgrading the Redis database version, set redis_version to the current Redis database version instead. | |
| parallel_shards_upgrade | integer | |
| 'all' | Maximum number of shards to upgrade all at once | |
| preserve_roles | Performs an additional failover to guarantee the shards' roles are preserved | |
| redis_version | Redis version | Upgrades the database to the specified version instead of the latest version |
Returns Done if the upgrade completed. Otherwise, it returns an error.
