Create a Redis Enterprise Software database

Create a database with Redis Enterprise Software.

Redis Enterprise Software lets you create databases and distribute them across a cluster of nodes.

To create a new database:

1. In your web browser, open the admin console of the cluster that you want to connect to in order to create the database.

   • For the new Cluster Manager UI, go to https://<hostname>:8443/new

   • For the legacy UI, go to https://<hostname>:8443

2. Use one of the following methods to create a new database:

   • Quick database

   • Create database with additional configuration

3. If you did not specify a port number for the database, you can find the port number in the Endpoint field in the Databases > Configuration > General section.

4. Test client connectivity.

Quick database

To quickly create a database and skip additional configuration options during initial creation:

1. On the Databases screen, select Quick database.

2. Select a Redis version from the Database version list.

3. Configure settings that are required for database creation but can be changed later:

   • Database name

   • Memory limit (GB)

4. Configure optional settings that can't be changed after database creation:

   • Endpoint port (set by the cluster if not set manually)

   • Capabilities (previously modules) to enable

5. Optionally select Full options to configure additional settings.

6. Select Create.

Create database

To create a new database and configure additional settings:

1. Open the Create database menu with one of the following methods:

   • Click the + button next to Databases in the navigation menu:

     

   • Go to the Databases screen and select Create database:

     

2. Select the database type:

   • Single Region

   • Active-Active database - Multiple participating Redis Enterprise clusters can host instances of the same Active-Active database in different geographic locations. Every instance can receive write operations, which are synchronized across all instances without conflict.

   Note:

   For Active-Active databases, see Create an Active-Active geo-replicated database.

3. Select a Redis version from the Database version list.

4. Enter a Database name.

   • Maximum of 63 characters

   • Only letters, numbers, or hyphens (-) are valid characters

   • Must start and end with a letter or digit

   • Case-sensitive

5. To configure additional database settings, expand each relevant section to make changes.

   See Configuration settings for more information about each setting.

6. Select Create.
