mongodb 3.2.11, version too new for this mongod - mongodb

I have an issue with mongodb server. I am using version 3.2.11.
Unable to find metadata for table:index-3--5957523542490303670 Index: {name: id, ns: dashboard.dataaas} - version too new for this mongod
I have already update mongo version to 3.4, but it still could not start the server on, the error still remains.
I would like to delete that index / table, but I could not log in to mongo-shell. And could not found file index-3--5957523542490303670 in any of folder
Please help

Basically as error states, mongo client/shell as well as mongod server should have the same version. You can check the mongo shell version using mongo --version. If it does not match, downgrade/upgrade client as required.
Also check if server is running.

How do you convert mongod to mongo service?

I have been running MongoDB on two Windows 10 PCs. However, one has mongo always running it seems where I only need to open command prompt and type mongo. This gives me access to the db on PC #1.
However, on PC #2, I must open command prompt and type mongod. Then I have to open a second command prompt to type in mongo, then I get access to the db on PC #2.
After doing this for about a year, I find I want to just want both PCs to work like PC #1, where I just type in mongo and not mongodb and only have to use one command prompt.
I checked online but there's nothing I found straightforward to accomplish this specifically.
Does anybody know the answer?
If in PC#2, your MongoDB version is < 4.0, then you can't do anything i.e., you have to continue with mongod to start Mongo as you do now.
But if your MongoDB version is >= 4.0 or you want to upgrade from lower version of MongoDB, you can follow the below steps.
Take backup of all databases with mongodump. If it is large volume data, then go through this.
Uninstall your MongoDB using Windows Uninstall Program features.
Reinstall MongoDB using the link.
While installing, ensure you select 'MongoDB Service' feature.
Start the MongoDB now in PC#2 as you do in PC#1.
Restore the old databases with mongorestore.

mongodb - command 'show collection' doesn't show anything

I switched my db properly and also confirmed that there is a document in my collection but I cannot find any collection by 'show collection' command.
Can I know the reason?
Please check your Mongo shell version and MongoDB version are compatible.
Refer to this JIRA ticket which has the similar issue reported. The root cause of the problem was the Mongo shell version and MongoDB version were not compatible.
To get Mongo Shell version:-
Go to the bin folder and execute mongo command which will print the Mongo shell version in the first line.
To get MongoDB version:-
db.version()

How to copy database from MongoDB 1.6 instance

I have a MongoDB instance with two databases, let's call them "realdb" and "copydb".
All I want to do is to periodically copy realdb to copydb. The copydb database is our "testing" instance of the actual database "realdb", and we want to periodically update it.
Normally the answer to this question would be "copydb" or "export/import". However, there are some challenges:
The target Mongo instance is running version 1.6 and is not likely to be updated anytime soon.
The target Mongo instance is on a remote server to which I don't have direct access.
This seems like basic enough a function that even 1.6 should have the ability to do it. But when I try anything I get "No such cmd" errors as if the newer Mongo can't communicate with the ancient Mongo.
Any thoughts on how this could be done?
The error "no such command" might mean that:
The command was mistyped, or does not exist
There is a mismatch of the client version (e.g. mongo shell, mongodump, mongoexport, or a mongodb driver) and the server version.
In this case it was a mismatch of the mongo shell version (3.4) vs server version (1.6).

Roles missing in mongodb

I am using Docker to add mongodb 2.6.5 to a host that already had 2.4.9 installed and I am sharing the data directory.
When I run the 2.6.5 (in container) I get permission issues apparently due to changes in 2.6:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/add-user-to-database/
But when I try to add a user with role roleAdminAnyDatabase I get "No role named roleAdminAnyDatabase#admin"
Do I need to migrate the data? What is the best way to do that?
I assume I could start up 2.6.5 with no data files and mongorestore the data from 2.4.9. But, does that mean I cannot run 2.4.9 using that directory anymore?

mongorestore issue : Cannot restore users with schema version 1 to a system with server version 2.5.4 or greater

I have a mongodb production database running on mongo 2.4.8 and I would like to upgrade to 2.6.x.
The way we want to do that is first load the data to another server running 2.6.3 using mongorestore. However when running the mongorestorecommand we get the following error:
Cannot restore users with schema version 1 to a system with server version 2.5.4 or greater
I cannot find anything related to this issue and do't know what to do. In case it matters, the database itself was not created from scratch with mongo 2.4.x but with previous versions.
What ca I do ? Is there another way of doing this other than using mongorestore ?
Thank you in advance for your help ...
There are two approaches you can take to upgrade your user schema with the 2.4 mongodump.
1) Restore into MongoDB 2.4 and then upgrade to 2.6
This follows the normal 2.6 upgrade path. Instead of trying to mongorestore your 2.4 backup directly into 2.6, restore into a 2.4 instance and then upgrade to 2.6.
It is recommended that before upgrading, you run db.upgradeCheckAllDBs() via a 2.6 mongo shell. This checks for any potential compatibility issues due to changes in MongoDB 2.6. For example, 2.6 implements stronger enforcement of index field definitions and key length restrictions.
2) Restore into MongoDB 2.6 using 2.4 mongorestore and then upgrade the user schema
This approach requires the MongoDB 2.4 version of mongorestore
start up your MongoDB 2.6 mongod without auth enabled
mongorestore your backup using a 2.4 version of mongorestore
run the authSchemaUpgrade command in your 2.6 mongo shell:
db.adminCommand({authSchemaUpgrade: 1 });
restart your 2.6 mongod with auth enabled
Three approaches that I can think of:
First, if you are running as a replica set, I'd upgrade the members
one by one. If you're not running as a replica set that's bad,
MongoDB is really not designed for production usage with a single
instance. Details on converting to a replica set and in a rolling
upgrade here:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/2.6-upgrade/ and here:
http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/tutorial/convert-standalone-to-replica-set/#
Second, if you are running on a file system that supports snapshots
(like Amazon EBS or Linux LVM) you can snapshot the database files,
restore to a new file system and start up a new mongod process using
2.6. http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/backup-with-filesystem-snapshots/
Third, try exporting the data via mongoexport and loading it via
mongoimport. It's not the same as mongodump/mongorestore so it has
some limitations (it's not a full backup of the database, just a
text dump of the collections) but might help you get past this issue
with mongorestore: http://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/core/import-export/
