master服务器异常down机后，两个原有的slave1，slave2服务器接管服务，如slave1变成新的master服务器，slave2变成slave1的从库。
配置文件主要参数讲解：
sentinel monitor mymaster 127.0.0.1 6379 1 几个哨兵发现down才认为真正的down
sentinel down-after-milliseconds mymaster 30000 多少毫秒后连接不到master认为断开
sentinel parallel-syncs mymaster 1 同时把几台master指到新的master机器。
sentinel failover-timeout mymaster 180000 多长时间失败
启动哨兵

测试将master down，查看哨兵是否有故障转移
[[email protected] ~]# cd /usr/local/redis/
[[email protected] redis]# ./bin/redis-cli

同时登陆到6380从库，查看是否现在为master主节点

有时候主库down了，从库切换为master不是顺序晋升，如master挂了后，6381为主库了。其实是有个参数控制，在redis配置文件中，不在哨兵配置文件。
slave-priority 100 该数字越小。优先级越高。
