rs. remove ( hostname )

Removes the member described by the hostname parameter from the current replica set. This function will disconnect the shell briefly and forces a reconnection as the replica set renegotiates which member will be primary. As a result, the shell will display an error even if this command succeeds.

The rs.remove() method has the following parameter:

Parameter Type Description
hostname string The hostname of a system in the replica set.

Note

Before running the rs.remove() operation, it is good practice to shut down the replica set member that you are removing.
