MongoDB Cluster Setup

I need to preface this with the following disclaimer: I have no prior knowledge of MongoDB, everything I have learned thus far has been from the MongoDB website and other blogs (my apologies in advance for not proper referencing, but I will try). I came into a situation where there was a need to develop and deploy a MongoDB cluster. And since I like learning new things, I decided to accept the project. The cluster consists of the following setup: One Mongos server, also acting a part of the config cluster Three Config servers Two Replica Sets, also configured into one Shard I'm going to do my best to go through a straight install of the cluster from my notes. I'm not really going to focus on what each item in the MongoDB cluster is, or attempt to explain how things work. These are just detailed notes on how to get a cluster up and running. I encourage you to check out the MongoDB website for information on MongoDB and each component in the cluster.
