| 13 | +--- |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +To migrate database shards to other nodes in the cluster, you can use the [`rladmin migrate`]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin/migrate">}}) command or [REST API requests]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/requests/shards/actions/migrate">}}). |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Use cases for shard migration |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Migrate database shards to a different node in the following scenarios: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Before node removal. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +- To balance the database manually in case of latency issues or uneven load distribution across nodes. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- To manage node resources, such as memory usage. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Considerations for shard migration |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +For databases with replication: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +- Migrating a shard will not cause disruptions since a primary shard will still be available. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +- If you try to migrate a primary shard, it will be demoted to a replica shard and a replica shard will be promoted to primary before the migration. If you set `"preserve_roles": true` in the request, a second failover will occur after the migration finishes to change the migrated shard's role back to primary. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +For databases without replication, the migrated shard will not be available until the migration is done. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Connected clients shouldn't be disconnected in either case. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +If too many primary shards are placed on the same node, it can impact database performance. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Migrate specific shard |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +To migrate a specific database shard, use one of the following methods: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +- [`rladmin migrate shard`]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin/migrate#migrate-shard">}}): |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + ```sh |
| 48 | + rladmin migrate shard <shard_id> target_node <node_id> |
| 49 | + ``` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- [Migrate shard]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/requests/shards/actions/migrate#post-shard">}}) REST API request: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + Specify the ID of the shard to migrate in the request path and the destination node's ID as the `target_node_uid` in the request body. See the [request reference]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/requests/shards/actions/migrate#post-request-body">}}) for more options. |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | + ```sh |
| 56 | + POST /v1/shards/<shard_id>/actions/migrate |
| 57 | + { |
| 58 | + "target_node_uid": <node_id> |
| 59 | + } |
| 60 | + ``` |
| 61 | +
|
| 62 | + Example JSON response body: |
| 63 | +
|
| 64 | + ```json |
| 65 | + { |
| 66 | + "action_uid": "<action_id>", |
| 67 | + "description": "Migrate was triggered" |
| 68 | + } |
| 69 | + ``` |
| 70 | +
|
| 71 | + You can track the action's progress with a [`GET /v1/actions/<action_uid>`]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/requests/actions#get-action">}}) request. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +## Migrate multiple shards |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +To migrate multiple database shards, use one of the following methods: |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +- [`rladmin migrate shard`]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin/migrate#migrate-shard">}}): |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + ```sh |
| 80 | + rladmin migrate shard <shard_id1> <shard_id2> <shard_id3> target_node <node_id> |
| 81 | + ``` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +- [Migrate multiple shards]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/requests/shards/actions/migrate#post-multi-shards">}}) REST API request: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + Specify the IDs of the shards to migrate in the `shard_uids` list and the destination node's ID as the `target_node_uid` in the request body. See the [request reference]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/requests/shards/actions/migrate#post-multi-request-body">}}) for more options. |
| 86 | +
|
| 87 | + ```sh |
| 88 | + POST /v1/shards/actions/migrate |
| 89 | + { |
| 90 | + "shard_uids": ["<shard_id1>","<shard_id2>","<shard_id3>"], |
| 91 | + "target_node_uid": <node_id> |
| 92 | + } |
| 93 | + ``` |
| 94 | +
|
| 95 | + Example JSON response body: |
| 96 | +
|
| 97 | + ```json |
| 98 | + { |
| 99 | + "action_uid": "<action_id>", |
| 100 | + "description": "Migrate was triggered" |
| 101 | + } |
| 102 | + ``` |
| 103 | +
|
| 104 | + You can track the action's progress with a [`GET /v1/actions/<action_uid>`]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/requests/actions#get-action">}}) request. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +## Migrate all shards from a node |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +To migrate all shards from a specific node to another node, run [`rladmin migrate all_shards`]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin/migrate#migrate-all_shards">}}): |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +```sh |
| 111 | +rladmin migrate node <origin_node_id> all_shards target_node <node_id> |
| 112 | +``` |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +## Migrate primary shards |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +You can use the [`rladmin migrate all_master_shards`]({{<relref "/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin/migrate#migrate-all_master_shards">}}) command to migrate all primary shards for a specific database or node to another node in the cluster. |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +To migrate a specific database's primary shards: |
| 119 | +
|
| 120 | +```sh |
| 121 | +rladmin migrate db db:<id> all_master_shards target_node <node_id> |
| 122 | +``` |
| 123 | +
|
