Overview:
When `mongoS` is launched with an incorrect replica set name for the config server host, there is no clear indication of the error in customer actions.
The displayed error is:
"Cannot accept sharding commands if not started with --shardsvr"
Encountered in version: 4.4.3
Scenario:
1. Start data nodes as:
mongod --replSet shard01 --dbpath <paths> --logpath <logbaths> --port <ports> --fork --shardsvr
2. Start config nodes as:
mongod --replSet configRepl --dbpath <path> --logpath <logpath> --port <conf_port> --fork --configsvr
3. Start `mongoS` as:
mongos --logpath <logpath> --port <port> --configdb shard01/<conf_host>:<conf_port> --fork
The --configdb option in this command uses the incorrect replica set name "shard01" instead of "configRepl".
4. Connect to mongoS
5. Run commands:
sh.enableSharding("myNewDB")
use myNewDB
db.myNewCollection1.insertOne( { x: 1 }
Result:
Error that suggests the server was started without the required configuration.
WriteError({ "index": 0, "code": 193, "errmsg": "Cannot accept sharding commands if not started with --shardsvr", "op": { "_id": ObjectId("601804bf64ac35a70d27f863"), "x": 1 } })
Expected Result:
An indicative error that specifies that the config server <fill configDB param> is not available.
