Cheapest and fastest way to set up MongoDB replica set

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have a fast Windows 7 PC with 8Gb RAM. I want to test this MongoDB replica set: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Replica+Sets for my development. I dont want to buy 3 PCs though, as it's kind of expensive. Is there a way to use some kind of technology, like Hyper-V, to be able to set it up? If not, how many PC and what kind should I buy? (HowTos)

Documentation here says three: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/deploy-replica-set/

"A replica set requires three distinct systems..."

Whereas the documentation here says two: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/replication/

"Most replica sets consists of two or more mongod instances..."

Anyone know which is correct?

I installed MongoDB in an Ubuntu Server VM inside VMware using these instructions: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/. Everything works fine, and I can access MongoDB at the regular port 27017

./mongo 172.16.150.131:27017

Now, I want to make a dummy replica set and another db instance for testing my app.

I want to start over the configurations of replica, is it possible? How to reset it?

In group people saying to remove the database content, but are there any work around?

Mongodb/Redis setup [closed] 44 weeks 9 hours ago

Possible Duplicate: Can you help me with my capacity planning?

I am contemplating purchasing/setting up a 16gb server which will contain 2 5gb instances of mongodb (multi drive replica/shard sets with remote backup with slave reads ok), a 4gb redis instance and a 2 gb postgres instance.

As you can see, my two Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) nodes have three network interfaces each, which connects them to three different networks :

A public network A private network consisting of the WSFC nodes A private network consisting of the WSFC nodes and a machine with the WSFC Quorum Witness File Share

Does this network configuration I've planned, make sense?

MongoDB and NUMA architecture 16 weeks 4 days ago

Our mongodb process is consistently using >100% of our CPU (this is on an Ubuntu 64-bit server on Linode) and we're casting about for performance improvements.

One suggestion we found was that MongoDB and NUMA don't work well together: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/administration/production-notes/#producti...

I notice that /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode is already set to 0 and numactl is no
