sh.removeShardFromZone()
On this page
Definition
sh.removeShardFromZone( shard, zone )-
New in version 3.4.
Removes the association between a zone and a shard.
Parameter Type Description shard string The name of the shard from which to remove the zone association.
zone string The name of the zone whose association with the shard you want to remove.
Only issue
sh.removeShardFromZone()when connected to amongosinstance.
Behavior
sh.removeShardFromZone() does not remove ranges associated with the zone.
To completely remove a zone from the cluster, you must run sh.removeShardFromZone() on each shard associated with the zone.
If the shard specified is the last shard associated with the zone, you must ensure there are no remaining ranges associated with the zone. Use updateZoneKeyRange to remove any existing ranges associated to the zone before running sh.removeShardFromZone().
See the zone manual page for more information on zones in sharded clusters.
Balancer
Removing the association between a zone and a shard removes the constraints keeping chunks covered by the zone on the shard. During the next balancer round, the balancer may migrate chunks that previously covered by the zone.
See the sharded cluster balancer manual page for more information on how migrations work in a sharded cluster.
Security
For sharded clusters that enforce access control, you must authenticate either as:
a user whose privileges include:
updateon theshardscollection in theconfigdatabase, andfindon thetagscollection in theconfigdatabase;
or, alternatively,
a user whose privileges include
enableShardingon the cluster resource (available starting in version 3.6.16).
The clusterAdmin or clusterManager built-in roles have the appropriate permissions for issuing sh.removeShardFromZone(). See the Role-Based Access Control manual page for more information.
