Can't add member into MongoDB replica-set - mongodb

I am using the MongoDB 2.4.3, and following the wizard:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/deploy-replica-set/
But when adding the other members into replica-set, get the following error:
root#vm3:~# mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: test
rs1:PRIMARY> rs.add("vm1")
{
"errmsg" : "exception: set name does not match the set name host vm1:27017 expects",
"code" : 13145,
"ok" : 0
}
rs1:PRIMARY> rs.add("vm4")
{
"errmsg" : "exception: set name does not match the set name host vm4:27017 expects",
"code" : 13145,
"ok" : 0
}
vm1, vm3 and vm4 know each other because I configured their /etc/hosts files correctly.
Any idea? I don't understand what does this error message mean!

After restarting all vms, it works now.
root#vm3:~# mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: test
rs1:PRIMARY> rs.add("vm4")
{ "ok" : 1 }
rs1:PRIMARY> rs.add("vm1")
{ "ok" : 1 }

In my case, just restart virtual machines, every thing is fine.

If you are re-installing a MongoDB instance, the replSet may be living in your data file on the drive. I had the same problem setting up a new replica set. The problem was from changing the replica set name after bringing up instances with an older replSet name. I deleted the data files, ran my install scripts again and it worked just fine.

Getting error message while replication database in mongodb windows

I am trying to replicate database in mongodb 4.0 in two different windows server. I followed all the steps of mongodb replication. While I was configuring the secondary database from primary through the below command
rsconf={_id:"myset",
members:[{_id:0,host:"PrimaryServerIP:27017"},{_id:1,host:"SecondaryServerIP:27017"}]}
Then while I was reconfiguring the rsconf through
rs.reconfig(rsconf)
I was getting the below error message
"Support for replication protocol version 0 was removed in MongoDB 4.0. Downgrade to MongoDB version 3.6 and upgrade your protocol version to 1 before upgrading your MongoDB version"
I tried to update the replication protocol by downgrading the MongoDB to 3.6 through the below command
rsconf = rs.conf()
rsconf.protocolVersion=1
rs.reconfig(rsconf)
But still getting the same error message. Is there any way to update the protocol version to 1 in mongodb 4.0.
Also I tried the same replication steps in mongodb 3.6 and it is working fine. Any help will be highly appreciated.
I had a similar issue and when I added protocolVersion to my new config it worked.
rsconf={
_id:"myset",
protocolVersion: NumberLong(1),
members:[{_id:0,host:"PrimaryServerIP:27017"},{_id:1,host:"SecondaryServerIP:27017"}]
}
I was initially having this issue trying to reset my rs config to blank so I could start over; I actually did this in the mongo shell
cfg = {
"_id" : "rs0",
"version" : 2,
"protocolVersion" : NumberLong(1),
"members" : [
{
"_id" : 0,
"host" : "myhost:27017"
}
]
}
rs.reconfig(cfg, {force:true})

Replica configuration - MongoDB

On mongo 3.2.17 I have the following output when running rs.initiate(). I need "ok" equal to 1. I don't know how to modified the configuration. Any suggestion?
{
"info2" : "no configuration specified. Using a default configuration for
the set",
"me" : "vpsxxxxxx:27017",
"info" : "try querying local.system.replset to see current
configuration",
"ok" : 0,
"errmsg" : "already initialized",
"code" : 23
}
You are getting this error because you have already initialized replication on your machine. This would work on a fresh instance. In your case try using reconfig instead of initiate
rs.reconfig(config, {force: true})
You can use force option when reconfiguring replica set. Make sure you have at least 3 nodes: 2 full nodes and 1 arbiter (minimum supported configuration) or 3 full nodes (minimum recommended configuration) so that primary node can be elected.

mongodb show dbs listDatabases failed

I am new to mongo db.
I just installed mongo DB on my MAC,
After watching this Youtube Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWbMrx5rVBE&t=369s
In mongo shell, I entered show dbs and I get wired output.
Kindly help me to understand and solve this

After a couple of research, I found the solution and sharing all I learned so no new learner struggles like me.
My mistake :
I was staring mongodb using :
mongod --config "c:\MongoDB\Mongod.cfg"
and start mongo shell by just running
mongo
Starting Mongo DB and Shell
Then understood, what each command does :
|*| Start Mongo DB with default config :
mongod
|*| Start Mongo DB with config file :
mongod -f "c:\MongoDB\Mongods.cfg"
|Or|
mongod --config "c:\MongoDB\Mongod.cfg"
|O| Start Mongo DB with config flags :
mongod --dbpath "c:\mongodb\data\nameMdb" --logpath "c:\mongodb\log\nameMdbLog.log" --directoryperdb --logappend
So correspondingly we should use mongo also to start shell :
|*| Start Mongo shell with default config :
mongo
|*| Start Mongo shell with localhost config flags :
mongo --host localhost --port 28888
|*| Start Mongo shell with public config flags and user details :
mongo --username <user> --password <pass> --host <Host.IP.Adrs> --port 28888
|*| Creating Config File is explained here with example :
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/rpm/mongod.conf
I had a similar issue when configuring MongoDB for replication.
When I run the command below:
mongo
show dbs
I get the error:
> show dbs
uncaught exception: Error: listDatabases failed:{
"topologyVersion" : {
"processId" : ObjectId("60ddea05beb1d89d4d139546"),

Here's how I fixed it:
The issue was that I had enabled the replication feature in the /etc/mongod.conf file without initializing the replication, so MongoDB could not tell which replica was the primary replica or secondary replica.
All I had to do was to comment out the replication feature in the /etc/mongod.conf file since I was not yet ready to set up replication:
#replication
# replSetName: my-replica-set-name
After which I restarted the MongoDB server:
sudo systemctl restart mongod
This time the command ran fine.
I experienced this issue today, installing the latest version of MongoDB with Homebrew and then launching the mongo shell and entering the command "show dbs". I tested this multiple times and spent some time researching it. The symptoms match an issue that was reported here: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-20753 where the issue was described as building WiredTiger separately from MongoDB and using an out of date version of WiredTiger.
While this is not the case for what you and I have experienced (note that Homebrew is currently installing 3.4.9 and WiredTiger 2.9.2), I guessed that it could be a similar mismatch between WiredTiger and MongoDB, so I decided to try installing a different version.
I ended up installing the latest "dev" version using this Homebrew command:
brew install mongodb --devel
This installs MongoDB 3.5.13 and WiredTiger 3.0.0 which do not have the issue. Note that 3.4.9 was released the day you reported this issue and 3.5.13 was released the next day, although 3.4.9 is still the current community edition listed here: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
In my case, the problem was replSet name.
I was changed my hostname at the Sharing preference and it was different with the previous installed replSet config's host name.
You can see the rs.config() in mongo shell like this.
"members" : [
{
"_id" : 0,
"host" : "MBA.local:27777",
"arbiterOnly" : false,
"buildIndexes" : true,
"hidden" : false,
"priority" : 1,
"tags" : {
},
"slaveDelay" : NumberLong(0),
"votes" : 1
}
],
See the host: section and change it by rs.config({object}) command in mongo shell,
or just add the line below at the /etc/hosts file.
127.0.0.1 MBA.local

Mongodb created replica set string showing exception

I have got this issue while working on replica sets. Server is successfully turning on but after executing rs.initiate() and rs.status I am getting errors.
"info2" : "no configuration explicitly specified -- making one",
"errmsg" : "exception: bad --replSet config string format is: <setname>[host1>,<seedhost2>,...]",
"code" : 13093,
"ok" : 0
I ran into this problem as well. What happened was I configured the replica set in /etc/mongo.conf, went into the mongo client and executed rs.initiate(). What I forgot to do was restart mongo! A simple sudo service mongod restart fixed it.

Starting over with replica configuration in mongodb

I did a mistake when configuring replica sets in mongodb. I think that what I did wrong is that I did a rs.initialize() on both nodes, which made them confused in some way. I'm not sure.
Now all I want to do is start over, but I couldn't find a way to de-initialize a node. So I followed the advice to delete the local* db files, thus resetting the configurations. I did that, and now nothing works.
> rs.initiate()
{
"info2" : "no configuration explicitly specified -- making one",
"me" : "0.0.0.0:27017",
"errmsg" : "couldn't initiate : can't find self in the replset config",
"ok" : 0
}
> rs.conf()
null
I tried to remove and reinstall the package (I'm doing this on Ubuntu servers) which just meant that my mongodb.conf disappeared and my init script stopped working. This is of course easy enough to solve.
So how do I start over?
Note: I did look at this answer, but since rs.conf() doesn't work this doesn't work either.
You'll also get this error if your machine's hostname doesn't map back to 127.0.0.1. Update your /etc/hosts and/or your /etc/hostname, and rs.initiate() with no config should work.
If you force a reconfig with a config that you have generated, does it resolve the issue?
You could do this similar to the follow from the {{mongo}} shell:
> cfg = {
... "_id" : "rs0",
... "version" : 1,
... "members" : [
... {
... "_id" : 0,
... "host" : "0.0.0.0:27017"
... }
... ]
... }
>rs.reconfig(cfg, {force:true})
You may need to tune the cfg variable to have your hostname and portname, as the can't find self in new replset config error will be returned to the shell if the repl set can't find the node it is running from in the config.
If you just comment out bind_ip in /etc/mongod.conf this will achieve the correct result so that you can reissue a rs.initiate() command to set-up or reconfig the replica.
