setup up shard on mongodb

Yestoday, I was confused by mongo's shard command, I was always promoted: bad command

 

Today, it was well done by the following steps, here in, mongos is the key prcess which I must startup before connect from client (and run addshard command):

 

1. start a config server with --confgsvr (--dbpath [folder 1])

2. start a mongos process with --configdb [config server (do not use localhost)]:[port]

3. start 2 mongodb shard servers with --shardsvr (with different --dbpath)

 

4. connect from any client use mongo

 

5.  run db.runCommand({addshard:"host:port"})

 

OK now!
