This topic describes how to upgrade the major version of an ApsaraDB for Redis instance in the ApsaraDB for Redis console to use the features of the new major version. For example, you can upgrade the major version from Redis 2.8 to Redis 4.0.
Workflow
The upgrade workflow varies based on the architecture of the instance. For more information, see the following table.

Impacts
- When you apply for resources, upgrade the replica node, or synchronize data, your ApsaraDB for Redis service remains available.
- When you switch your workloads over from the original instance to a new instance or from the master node to the replica node in the original instance, you may experience transient connections that last for a few seconds. The original instance stays in the read-only state for up to 60 seconds until all data is synchronized. We recommend that you upgrade the original instance during off-peak hours and make sure that your application is configured to automatically re-establish a connection.
- If the original instance runs Redis 4.0, Bloom filter-related API operations such
as BF.ADD are no longer supported after you upgrade the major version of the original instance
to a version later than Redis 4.0.
Notice Bloom filter-related API operations on existing instances of ApsaraDB for Redis 4.0 are only for internal use. In addition, new instances that run Redis 4.0 or later no longer support Bloom filter-related API operations. Therefore, if you call Bloom filter-related API operations the new instances, you cannot perform cache analytics and unknown errors may occur. We recommend that you change the original instance into a performance-enhanced instance of the ApsaraDB for Redis Enhanced Edition (Tair) to support optimized Bloom filters. For more information about performance-enhanced instances, see Performance-enhanced instances.
Precautions
- If a private endpoint is allocated to an ApsaraDB for Redis instance or if a Data Transmission Service (DTS) task is created for the instance, a major version upgrade cannot be performed. You can release the private endpoint or close the DTS task before a major version upgrade. For more information about how to release a private endpoint for an instance, see Release a private endpoint for an ApsaraDB for Redis instance.
- Major version upgrades are not needed for ApsaraDB for Redis Enhanced Edition (Tair) instances.

FAQ
- Q: Why does the state of an instance change to Upgrading Major Version after I select
Update During Maintenance to upgrade the major version?
A: The state of an instance changes to Upgrading Major Version because the system is preparing for the upgrade. During the preparation, the instance service remains available. When the system prepares for upgrades, such as applying for resources and synchronizing data, instances or master and replica nodes are not switched over and services provided are not affected.Note The instance experiences transient connections for a few seconds and then remains in the read-only state for up to 60 seconds only during instance switchovers or master/replica switchovers.
- Q: Why does a major version upgrade of an instance fail?
A: If your instance is of a phrased-out instance type, its major version cannot be upgraded.In this case, you must change the instance type. You can select a valid instance type for the new instance that has the same specifications as the original instance. Then, you can upgrade the major version of the instance.
