<code name=
"code" class=
"python">SLAVEOF NO ONE
</code>will turn off the replicaiton turning the Redis server into a MASTER.In the proper form 
<code name=
"code" class=
"python">SLAVEOF hostname port
</code> will make the server a slave of thespecific server listening at the specified hostname and port.

  31 <blockquote>If a server is already a slave of some master, 
<code name=
"code" class=
"python">SLAVEOF hostname port
</code> willstop the replication against the old server and start the synchrnonizationagainst the new one discarding the old dataset.
</blockquote> 
  32 <blockquote>The form 
<code name=
"code" class=
"python">SLAVEOF no one
</code> 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.
