Learn deploying a Replica Set - MongoDB

Today, I read a bit on MongoDB: The Definitive Guide book and found out more about deploying a Replica Set. Last time, I learned about MongoDB that I tested master - slave (just basic).
Anyway, I was interested in deploying a replica set.

PRIMARY = centos
SECONDARY = centostest1

First, I connected to a primary node starting mongodb and set something.

[surachart@centos mongo]$ bin/mongod -replSet  surachart --rest --fork --logpath /tmp/mongodb-centos.log
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 3989
all output going to: /tmp/mongodb-centos.log

child process started successfully, parent exiting
[surachart@centos mongo]$
[surachart@centos mongo]$ ps -aef | grep 3989

        "_id" : "surachart",
        "members" : [
                {
                        "_id" : 0,
                        "host" : "centos:27017"
                }
        ]
}
> rs.initiate(config)
{
        "info" : "Config now saved locally.  Should come online in about a minute.",
        "ok" : 1
}
> rs.conf()
{
        "_id" : "surachart",
        "version" : 1,
        "members" : [
                {
                        "_id" : 0,
                        "host" : "centos:27017"
                }
        ]
}

Then, I connected to a secondary node starting mongodb.

[surachart@centostest1 mongo]$ bin/mongod -replSet  surachart --rest --fork --logpath /tmp/mongodb-centostest1.log
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 2844
all output going to: /tmp/mongodb-centostest1.log
child process started successfully, parent exiting
[surachart@centostest1 mongo]$ ps -aef |grep 2844

[surachart@centostest1 mongo]$

After I made sure a secondary node that could start and no any issues. I come back to a primary node and added new node (a secondary node).

surachart:PRIMARY> rs.add("centostest1:27017")
{ "ok" : 1 }
surachart:PRIMARY> rs.conf()
{
        "_id" : "surachart",
        "version" : 2,
        "members" : [
                {
                        "_id" : 0,
                        "host" : "centos:27017"
                },
                {
                        "_id" : 1,
                        "host" : "centostest1:27017"
                }
        ]
}
surachart:PRIMARY>
surachart:PRIMARY>

and also checked on a secondary node.

[surachart@centostest1 mongo]$ bin/mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.3
connecting to: test
surachart:SECONDARY>
surachart:SECONDARY>
surachart:SECONDARY>

It looked good. Finally, I tested it by inserting data.
On Primary node:

surachart:PRIMARY> db.test.save( { a: 1 } )
surachart:PRIMARY> db.test.save( { b: 2 } )
surachart:PRIMARY> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("51a45f6b9f2bc22d6f79b98e"), "a" : 1 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("51a45f709f2bc22d6f79b98f"), "b" : 2 }

On Secondary node:

surachart:SECONDARY> db.test.save( { 3: 2 } )
not master
surachart:SECONDARY> db.test.find()
error: { "$err" : "not master and slaveOk=false", "code" : 13435 }

So, used "rs.slaveOk()" on a secondary node to allow read operations.

surachart:SECONDARY> rs.slaveOk
function (value) { return db.getMongo().setSlaveOk(value); }
surachart:SECONDARY> rs.slaveOk()
surachart:SECONDARY> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("51a45f6b9f2bc22d6f79b98e"), "a" : 1 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("51a45f709f2bc22d6f79b98f"), "b" : 2 }

I could read data and done to begin about deploying a replica set on MongoDB.
Another test - Demote a primary to a secondary.
On centos:

surachart:PRIMARY> rs.stepDown()
Tue May 28 15:26:37.327 DBClientCursor::init call() failed
Tue May 28 15:26:37.329 JavaScript execution failed: Error: error doing query: failed at src/mongo/shell/query.js:L78

Tue May 28 15:26:37.331 reconnect 127.0.0.1:27017 ok

Meanwhile, on centostest1.

        "set" : "surachart",

}
