**To test failover of a node group**

The following ``test-failover`` example tests automatic failover on the specified node group (called a shard in the console) in a replication group (called a cluster in the console). ::

    aws elasticache test-failover /
        --replication-group-id "mycluster" /
        --node-group-id "0001"

Output::
