Could someone point me to the documentation on how to increase the number of replicas in a cluster once live? I haven't found it through searching this forum.

We have three front-ends running membase. They've been working together well for over a month. Due to a surge of traffic, we lost two machines due to crashes. We rebooted everything but definitely lost data. The cluster is configured to have 1 replica which in this scenario caused us to lose data. How can I increase the replica number as that option is not available and is grayed out.

Thanks,

Eric

Unfortunately, that's not currently an option. There is an open improvement request on it you may wish to track: http://www.couchbase.org/issues/browse/MB-2512

One offline thought is that you can use mbrestore to restore your data to a newly provisioned cluster with the replica count where you'd like it.
