| Jun 13, 2016 at 5:49 | comment | added | viren | @Stennie i am not replacing Arbiter to secondary. I am removing it and adding fully data node. As per your suggestion i will use initial sync only as it will give more balanced accuracy for data. Could you please ass this as Answer so that i will close it. | |

I'm still not entirely clear what you're trying to do. Are you referring to rsync (the command line file-copying tool) or MongoDB replication initial sync? Are you replacing one member of the replica set or two (an arbiter and/or secondary)? Per my original comment, you should not use rsync on a running deployment. Initial sync is the normal process where you would rs.add() a new secondary. You cannot convert an arbiter into a secondary, as arbiters do not have any data.

What version of MongoDB and (if 3.0+, what storage engine) are you using? In general you should not copy or rsync files from a running deployment as this is likely to introduce data inconsistency if files are being written to. You would be much safer reversing your first two steps: stop the existing secondary and then rsync the data files.
