Description
## 1. Title
#### AWS::ElastiCache - Unable to scale up a cluster
## 2. Scope of request
e) other coverage-related issue with the resource/attribute/option
## 3. Expected behavior
I have a Redis cluster with a single node. I tried to scale up the cluster to a multi-node cluster by CloudFormation stack. But it fails on applying the stack.
Current cluster have single node without automatic failover. The cluster is created by the following CloudFormation resource:
```yaml
MyRedisCludster:
Type: "AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup"
Properties:
ReplicationGroupDescription: "My cluster"
EngineVersion: "5.0.5"
CacheNodeType: "cache.t3.micro"
Engine: "redis"
NumCacheClusters: 1
AutomaticFailoverEnabled: "false"
```
Then I tried to scale-up the cluster: increase to two of nodes, and enable automatic failover by the following:
```yaml
MyRedisCludster:
Type: "AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup"
Properties:
ReplicationGroupDescription: "My cluster"
EngineVersion: "5.0.5"
CacheNodeType: "cache.t3.micro"
Engine: "redis"
NumCacheClusters: 2 # <-- Update
AutomaticFailoverEnabled: "true" # <-- Update
```
The stack will fail and says the following message:
```
Replication group must have at least one read replica to enable autofailover.
```
The stack should complete updating the cluster successfully.
## 4. Suggest specific test cases
1. Create a cluster with a single-node.
2. Modify the template to scale-up to two-nodes cluster and failover enabled.
3. Apply the template.
3. The stack finishes with no errors
4. The cluster has two nodes and the failover is enabled.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the update with the two CloudFormation AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup templates described in the issue, then compare the resulting stack error with the requested node and failover state. Done means the stack updates successfully, the cluster has two nodes, and automatic failover is enabled.
