How to shutdown mongodb sharded cluster temporary

Question

I have setup mongodb sharded cluster with following topology

• 3x3 shards (each have 2 replica sets)
• 1x3 config server replica cluster
• 2 mongos routers

I want to shutdown whole cluster temporary keeping data integrity intact. I may use this setup later so I do not want to scrap whole setup.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

1. stop balancing - run sh.stopBalancer() from mongos

2. shutdown mongos services - run db.shutdownServer() from mongos

3. shutdown config mongod services - run db.shutdownServer() from config server mongod

4. shutdown shards mongod services - run db.shutdownServer() from replica set mongod
