Replica Set TutorialsΒΆ
The administration of replica sets includes the initial deployment of the set, adding and removing members to a set, and configuring the operational parameters and properties of the set. Administrators generally need not intervene in failover or replication processes as MongoDB automates these functions. In the exceptional situations that require manual interventions, the tutorials in these sections describe processes such as resyncing a member. The tutorials in this section form the basis for all replica set administration.

- Member Configuration Tutorials
Tutorials that describe the process for configuring replica set members.
- Adjust Priority for Replica Set Member
- Change the precedence given to a replica set members in an election for primary.
- Prevent Secondary from Becoming Primary
- Make a secondary member ineligible for election as primary.

- Replica Set Maintenance Tutorials
Procedures and tasks for common operations on active replica set deployments.
- Change the Size of the Oplog
- Increase the size of the oplog which logs operations. In most cases, the default oplog size is sufficient.
- Resync a Member of a Replica Set
- Sync the data on a member. Either perform initial sync on a new member or resync the data on an existing member that has fallen too far behind to catch up by way of normal replication.
- Force a Member to Become Primary
- Force a replica set member to become primary.
- Change Hostnames in a Replica Set
- Update the replica set configuration to reflect changes in members’ hostnames.
