SLAVEOF no one
==============

    The SLAVEOF command can change the replication settings of a slave
    on the fly.If a Redis server is arleady acting as slave, the
    command ``SLAVEOF NO ONE``will turn off the replicaiton turning the
    Redis server into a MASTER.In the proper form
    ``SLAVEOF hostname port`` will make the server a slave of
    thespecific server listening at the specified hostname and port.

    If a server is already a slave of some master,
    ``SLAVEOF hostname port`` willstop the replication against the old
    server and start the synchrnonizationagainst the new one discarding
    the old dataset.

    The form ``SLAVEOF no one`` will stop replication turning the
    server into aMASTER but will not discard the replication. So if the
    old master stop workingit is possible to turn the slave into a
    master and set the application touse the new master in read/write.
    Later when the other Redis server will befixed it can be configured
    in order to work as slave.
