The rs.addArb command doesn't work in MongoDB 5.x. rs.addArb('mongodb-arbiter:27017') We have a replicaSet with 1 primary node, 1 secondary node and are trying to add the arbiter to the replicaSet. However, when running the rs.addArb command, we get this error message Error: assert.soon failed: function() { var cfg = hostport; var local = db.getSiblingDB("local"); assert(local.system.replset.count() <= 1, "error: local.system.replset has unexpected contents"); var c = local.system.replset.findOne(); assert(c, "no config object retrievable from local.system.replset"); const attemptedVersion = c.version++; var max = 0; for (var i in c.members) { // Omit 'newlyAdded' field if it exists in the config. delete c.members[i].newlyAdded; if (c.members[i]._id > max) max = c.members[i]._id; } if (isString(hostport)) { cfg = {_id: max + 1, host: hostport}; if (arb) cfg.arbiterOnly = true; } else if (arb == true) { throw Error( "Expected first parameter to be a host-and-port string of arbiter, but got " + tojson(hostport)); } if (cfg._id == null) { cfg._id = max + 1; } c.members.push(cfg); res = self._runCmd({replSetReconfig: c}); if (res === "") { // _runCmd caught an exception. return true; } if (res.ok) { return true; } if (res.code === ErrorCodes.ConfigurationInProgress || res.code === ErrorCodes.CurrentConfigNotCommittedYet) { return false; // keep retrying } if (res.code === ErrorCodes.NewReplicaSetConfigurationIncompatible) { // We will retry only if this error was due to our config version being too low. const cfgState = local.system.replset.findOne(); if (cfgState.version >= attemptedVersion) { return false; // keep retrying } } // Take no action on other errors. return true; } : { "ok" : 0, "errmsg" : "Reconfig attempted to install a config that would change the implicit default write concern. Use the setDefaultRWConcern command to set a cluster-wide write concern and try the reconfig again.", "code" : 103, "codeName" : "NewReplicaSetConfigurationIncompatible", "$clusterTime" : { "clusterTime" : Timestamp(1627634005, 1), "signature" : { "hash" : BinData(0,"0HvodHFBd9MboNymy6f1RCY2YZs="), "keyId" : NumberLong("6990612431667986435") } }, "operationTime" : Timestamp(1627634005, 1) } The hang analyzer is automatically called in assert.soon functions. If you are *expecting* assert.soon to possibly fail, call assert.soon with {runHangAnalyzer: false} as the fifth argument (you can fill unused arguments with `undefined`). : doassert@src/mongo/shell/assert.js:20:14 assert.soon@src/mongo/shell/assert.js:382:17 rs.add@src/mongo/shell/utils.js:1624:5 rs.addArb@src/mongo/shell/utils.js:1696:12 @(shell):1:1 The version of MongoDB we are currently using is 5.0.1 and the scripts we use to configure the replicaSet work properly with MongoDB 4.x. We also tried to use rs.add('mongodb-secondary:27017', true) but got the same error. I can confirm that there is connectivity between the primary/secondary node and the arbiter one.

Is it safe to change this default setting in MongoDB? What is the implication? I am also curious as to why it isn’t documented in any tutorial we can find. JIRAUSER1262858 commented on Fri, 15 Oct 2021 08:51:50 +0000: Hi @Dmitry, I am trying to deploy a PSA replica set using MongoDB 5.0.3 and I see the same issue as reported by @Juan. In previous deployments (with v3) I used to follow this process (which I believe is what the documentation suggest being correct): I install MongoDB on the servers I want to use and get them all up and running. Next I use the server I want to use as primary and issue the rs.initiate() command. I specify the host, the priority for the host and replica set name in this. Now I am adding my secondary server using the command: rs.add('SECONDARYHOSTNAME') So far working fine. Running rs.status() at this time shows all good and primary and secondary are set as expected. Now I want to add my arbiter server to the replica set and use the command: rs.addArb('ARBITERHOSTNAME') The shell freezes....and after a long wait the message as indicated by Juan is returned to me in the shell. Going back to the first post/reply from you, the issue is caused by the Default Write Concern option. When I run the getDefaultRWConcern command, I notice the defaultReadConcern level is set to local. The defaultWriteConcenrt w is set to majority. The defaultWriteConcenrSource and defaultReadConcernSource are both set to implicit. I think I maybe able to "fix" my install using the information provide, but I wonder why this is not part of the documentation for setting up a replica set and I wonder what the best option/command would be to do this. As a side note question, I also wonder why I can just add secondary server to the replica set without running into this issue. So for using a PSS replica set, the Default Write Concern does not seem to be causing "issues". Hope you have some more information to share on this. dmitry.agranat commented on Tue, 24 Aug 2021 08:03:57 +0000: Hi jotamartos@gmail.com, We haven’t heard back from you for some time, so I’m going to close this ticket. If this is still an issue for you, please provide additional information and we will reopen the ticket. Regards, Dima JIRAUSER1261388 commented on Mon, 9 Aug 2021 14:38:38 +0000: Thank you for the information Dmitry! We are going to review that material and will update this thread if we have any questions. Regards, Jota dmitry.agranat commented on Tue, 3 Aug 2021 08:54:33 +0000: Hi jotamartos@gmail.com, the issue you are experiencing is due to a change in 5.0 in regard to the Default Write Concern. So when manually adding an arbiter prior to setting the cluster-wide write concern, mongo correctly responds with: Reconfig attempted to install a config that would change the implicit default write concern. Use the setDefaultRWConcern command to set a cluster-wide write concern and try the reconfig again. Specifically, this function is responsible for this logic. Here is the documentation on how to change the Default Write Concern which you need to enforce before adding an Arbiter (or any other changes that will cause the implicit default WC to change).
