      If you have a new sharded system, where no shards have been actually added yet, its not possible to run any commands on dbs other than those that live on the config servers, even if those commands do not require writing anything to the database.

      For example:

      db.runCommand("serverStatus")
2013-11-21T11:56:11.620-0500 error: {
	"$err": "error creating initial database config information :: caused by :: can't find a shard to put new db on",
	"code": 10185
} at src/mongo/shell/query.js:131

      This also prevents creating users on non-admin dbs before the first shard has been added: SERVER-11126
