-In case you decide to skip the benefits of ``mongo-replica-set.service``, you can also establish the connection with the replica set as follows. Connect to the MongoDB on the instance. If it is the first instance of a replica set, issue the command ``rs.initiate()`` in order to turn the instance into the "seed" of a replica set. You can then, for the time being, ``quit()`` the mongo shell. Re-connecting, e.g., with ``mongo "mongodb://localhost:27017/?replicaSet=live"``, will show the ``PRIMARY`` of the new replica set. Don't issue these commands if you only want to add another replica to an existing replica set.

Connected to the PRIMARY using the ``mongo`` shell, a replica can be added using ``rs.add({host: "hostname:port"})``. For additional options see [here](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/rs.add/). To add a hidden replica on ``dbserver.internal.sapsailing.com:10203``, use ``rs.add({host: "dbserver.internal.sapsailing.com:10203", buildIndexes: false, hidden: true, priority: 0})``.

-You can then check the replication status by connecting your ``mongo`` client to ``dbserver.internal.sapsailing.com:10201`` and check the output of ``rs.status()``. As long as the new instance is listed in status ``STARTUP2`` it is still synchronizing from the primary. Eventually (took 55min during the last test) it transitions to status ``SECONDARY``. You can then use a connection string such as ``mongodb://dbserver.internal.sapsailing.com:10201/winddb?replicaSet=archive&retryWrites=true&readPreference=secondary`` for the ``MONGODB_URI`` in your archive server Java instance which will then preferably connect to your new fast secondary replica. Consider that the new secondary replica will have to build indices when first queried. This can take another 20 minutes. When done loading the archive server, terminate the instance which will properly remove the replica from the replica set.
