+Deploy a MongoDB Replica Set to CentOS VMs on Windows Azure
+===========================================================
+
+.. default-domain:: mongodb
+
+In this tutorial, you will learn to deploy a MongoDB replica set to
+CentOS VMs on Windows Azure and access it from outside Azure. The
+following are the tasks to achieve this:
+
+ #. Sign up for the feature on the Azure portal
+ #. Set up affinity group
+ #. Create and set up the virtual machines
+ #. Install and run MongoDB
+ #. Configure the replica set
+
+Signing up
+==========
+
+Sign up for ``Virtual Machines and Virtual Networks`` preview feature
+from the new Azure portal* In the ``Preview`` portal, go to
+Account->Preview Features.
+
+.. image:: img/image06.png
+
+Sign up for the “Virtual Machines and Virtual Networks”
+
+.. image:: img/image07.png
+
+.. TODO make this a subscript
+
+.. note::
+
+ “*” – The VM Role beta program from the old Azure portal (shown
+ below) is not the same as the preview feature above
+
+ .. image:: img/image08.png
+
+Set up affinity group
+=====================
+
+The affinity group needs to be set up from the old portal.
+
+#. If in the new Azure Management preview portal, click ‘Preview’ at
+ the top of the screen and then ‘Take me to the previous portal’ to
+ switch to the old portal
+
+ .. image:: img/image10.png
+
+#. Once in the old portal, click ‘Hosted Services, Storage Accounts
+ & CDN’
+
+#. Select ‘Affinity Groups’ and then ‘New Affinity Group’
+
+#. In the “Create a New Affinity Group” dialog, enter an affinity
+ group name such as “mongoaffinitygroup” and choose a location
+
+ - Choose one of the newer Azure data centers such as “West US”,
+ “East US” or “West Europe”
+
+ .. image:: img/image11.png
+
+Create and set up the virtual machines
+======================================
+
+To create a 3-node MongoDB replica set you will be creating 3 VM
+instances. For this step, log in to the new preview portal, or from
+the old portal, click ``Visit the Previous Portal`` at the bottom of the
+page
+
+Create instances
+----------------
+
+Instance 1
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. In the portal, click New->Virtual Machine->From Gallery
+
+ .. image:: img/image01.png
+
+#. On the VM OS Selection page, choose ‘OpenLogic CentOS 6.2’ and
+ click the next arrow to continue
+
+ .. image:: img/image00.png
+
+#. On the VM Configuration page, specify values for the parameters
+
+ - Virtual Machine Name - ``mongodbrs1``
+ - New User Name – ``mongouser``. This user will be added to the
+ ``sudoers`` list file
+ - New Password box – type a strong password that confirms to the
+ Azure specifications
+ - Retype the password to confirm
+ - Size – Choose appropriate size from drop down list. For anything
+ but small test instances, choose a size larger than Medium
+ - Leave ``Upload SSH key for Authentication`` unchecked
+
+ Click the next arrow to continue
+
+ .. image:: img/image03.png
+
+#. On the VM Mode page, specify values for the required parameters
+
+ - Select ‘Standalone Virtual Machine’
+ - DNS – a valid DNS prefix e.g. "mongodbrs"
+ - Storage Account box – choose ‘Use Automatically Generated Storage Account’
+ - In the ‘Region/Affinity Group/Virtual Network’ box, select the
+ affinity group created previously “mongoaffinitygroup”
+
+ Click next arrow to continue
+
+ .. image:: img/image02.png
+
+#. On the VM Options page select ``None for Availability Set``
+
+ .. image:: img/image04.png
+
+#. Click the check mark to create the VM instance
+
+Instance 2
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A similar process to creating instance 1.
+
+#. In the portal, click New->Virtual Machine->From Gallery
+#. On the VM OS Selection page, choose ``OpenLogic CentOS 6.2`` and then the next arrow to continue
+#. On the VM Configuration page, specify values for the parameters
+
+ - Virtual Machine Name – ``mongodbrs2``
+ - New User Name – ``mongouser``. This user will be added to the
+ Sudoers list file. For ease of use specify the same user name
+ as for instance 1
+ - New Password box – type a strong password that confirms to the Azure specifications
+ - Retype the password to confirm
+ - Size – Choose the same instance size as instance 1
+ - Leave ``Upload SSH key for Authentication`` unchecked
+
+ Click the next arrow to continue
+
+#. On the VM Mode page, specify values for the required parameters
+
+ - Select ``Connect to Existing Virtual Machine``
+ - In the dropdown choose instance 1 ``mongodbrs1``
+ - Storage Account box – choose ``Use Automatically Generated Storage Account``
+ - The ``Region/Affinity Group/Virtual Network`` box should be automatically set to ``mongoaffinitygroup``
+
+ Click the next arrow to continue
+
+ .. image:: img/image12.png
+
+#. On the VM Options page select ‘None for Availability Set’
+
+#. Click the check mark to create the VM instance
+
+Instance 3
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A similar process for creating instance 2. Choose ``mongodbrs3`` to be the Virtual Machine Name in step 3.
+
+Configure endpoints
+-------------------
+
+Once the virtual machines are connected you need to configure the endpoints to:
+
+- Allow remote connection
+- Allow mongo traffic
+
+Instance 1
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+#. In the management portal, click virtual machines and click the name of instance 1, ``mongodbrs1``
+#. Now click on endpoints
+#. The ssh endpoint should be automatically created. For this endpoint ensure the following are set
+
+ - Protocol – tcp
+ - Public Port – 22
+ - Private Port – 22
+ - Load Balanced – No
+
+#. Create a new endpoint for MongoDB by clicking on ``Add Endpoint`` at the bottom of the screen
+#. Ensure ``Add endpoint`` is selected and click the right arrow to go to the next screen
+
+ .. image:: img/image13.png
+
+#. Specify the endpoint details as below:
+
+ - Name : MongoDB-Port
+ - Protocol : TCP
+ - Public Port : 27018
+ - Private Port : 27018
+
+ Click on check mark to create endpoint
+
+ .. image:: img/image14.png
+
+The instance now should have 2 endpoints, 1 for SSH and 1 for MongoDB
+
+.. image:: img/image15.png
+
+Instance 2
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We need to configure the endpoints for instance 2 similar to instance 1:
+
+#. In the management portal, click ``virtual machines`` and click the name of instance 2
+#. Now click on ``endpoints``
+#. The ssh endpoint should be automatically created. Ensure that:
+
+ - Name – SSH
+ - Protocol – TCP
+ - Private Port – 22
+ - Load Balanced – No
+
+#. Now click on Edit Endpoint at the bottom of the screen and set
+ ``Public Port`` to 23. Click on the ``check mark`` to update
+#. Create a new endpoint for MongoDB by clicking on ``Add Endpoint``
+ at the bottom of the screen
+#. Ensure ``Add Endpoint`` is selected and click the right arrow to go
+ to the next screen
+#. Specify the endpoint details as below:
+
+ - Name: MongoDB-Port
+ - Protocol: TCP
+ - Public Port: 27019
+ - Private Port: 27019
+
+ Click on check mark to create endpoint
+
+The instance now should have 2 endpoints, 1 for SSH and 1 for MongoDB
+
+.. image:: img/image18.png
+
+Instance 3
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Create endpoints for instance 3 similar to instance 2 with the following changes:
+
+#. In step 4, set public port to 24
+#. In step 7, set public and private ports to be 27020
+
+The instance now should have 2 endpoints, 1 for SSH and 1 for MongoDB
+
+.. image:: img/image19.png
+
+Update OS
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Use this optional step to update the operating system on each of your
+VM instances. Once the machine endpoints have been configured above,
+you need to log into the machines to update them. More information on
+this can be found at `How to Log on to a Virtual Machine Running Linux
+`_
+Use the username and password you used when creating the virtual
+machine instances. Once you are connected to the machine, update the
+operating system by running:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ sudo yum update
+
+and following the prompts. This could take some time.
+
+.. note::
+
+ When connecting to instances 2 and 3, remember to use ports 23 and
+ 24 and not the default ssh port of 22.
+
+.. image:: img/image20.png
+
+Set up disks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once the instances are updated, you can then attach a data disk to
+each of the instances. The data disks will be storing the actual
+mongodb data as part of –dbpath. More information on Azure data disks
+can be found at `Data Disk Concepts
+`_.
+To set up the data disk follow the steps outlined below for each of
+the instances you created:
+
+ #. Attach an empty disk to the instance as described in How to:
+ `Attach an empty
+ disk `_
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Create a data disk of at least 10 GB
+
+ #. Now initialize the data disk by following the steps described at
+ `How to: Initialize a new data disk in Linux
+ `_
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Ensure you use ext4 for the file system and not ext3
+
+ #. Also once mounted, create a mongodb data directory by:
+
+ #. Log on onto the instance
+ #. Run the following code to make the mongouser the owner of the data directory
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ sudo chown `id -u` /mnt/datadrive/
+
+ #. Run the following command:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ mkdir -p /mnt/datadrive/data
+
+Install and run MongoDB
+=======================
+
+As part of this step, you will be using the official 10gen supplied
+packages to install, configure and run MongoDB as a service using
+YUM. You want to install as a service since this would ensure that
+mongod is started on machine restart also. More information can be
+found at `Install MongoDB on RedHat Enterprise, CentOS, or Fedora
+Linux
+`_
+doc page.
+
+Install MongoDB
+---------------
+
+Repeat the following steps on each instance.
+ #. Log onto the instance
+ #. Create a ``/etc/yum.repos.d/10gen.repo`` file to hold information
+ about your repository using your favorite editor as sudo. Place
+ the following configuration in ``/etc/yum.repos.d/10gen.repo`` file:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ [10gen]
+ name=10gen Repository
+ baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64
+ gpgcheck=0
+ enabled=1
+
+ #. After saving the new .repo file, issue the following command to
+ update the local package database: sudo yum update
+ #. Issue the following command (as root or with sudo) to install
+ the latest stable version of MongoDB and the associated tools:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ sudo yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server
+
+ .. image:: img/image21.png
+
+ #. When this command completes, you have successfully installed MongoDB.
+
+ .. image:: img/image16.png
+
+Configure MongoDB
+-----------------
+
+The packages installed in the previous step configure MongoDB using
+the /etc/mongod.conf file in conjunction with the control script. You
+can find the init script at /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod. As part of this
+step you will edit the mongod.conf file to set the appropriate
+parameters. If the parameters are commented, make sure to uncomment
+them.
+
+Instance 1
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ #. Connect to the instance using ssh or PuTTY
+ #. As sudo, edit /etc/mongod.conf to set the following parameters:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ port = 27018
+ dbpath = /mnt/datadrive/data
+ logpath = /mnt/datadrive/mongod.log
+ replSet = mongors
+
+ #. Save the config file
+
+Instance 2
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ #. Connect to the instance using ssh or PuTTY
+ #. As sudo, edit /etc/mongod.conf to set the following parameter:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ port = 27019
+ dbpath = /mnt/datadrive/data
+ logpath = /mnt/datadrive/mongod.log
+ replSet = mongors
+
+ #. Save the config file
+
+Instance 3
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ #. Connect to the instance using ssh or PuTTY
+ #. As sudo, edit /etc/mongod.conf to set the following parameter:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ port = 27020
+ dbpath = /mnt/datadrive/data
+ logpath = /mnt/datadrive/mongod.log
+ replSet = mongors
+
+ #. Save the config file
+
+Start MongoDB
+-------------
+
+Once the configuration files have been edited, start the database
+process mongod on each instance by:
+
+ #. Log on onto the instance
+ #. Run the following command to start the process:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ mongod –config /etc/mongod.conf
+
+ #. This should start the mongod process
+ #. Verify that mongod start by tailing the log file using the
+ command
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ tail –f /mnt/datadrive/mongod.log
+
+ #. The ``waiting for connections`` message in the log file indicates
+ mongod is up and running and waiting for client
+ connections. This may take a while as mongod preallocates its
+ journal files
+
+ .. image:: img/image17.png
+
+Configure the replica set
+=========================
+
+At this point in time, you should have mongod running on all 3 of your
+instances. You can now configure the 3 instances as a replica set by
+connecting to 1 of the 3 instances from within Azure or from outside.
+Connect to the running mongod process using the :program:`mongo` shell:
+
+ #. If connected to the VM instance type the following command where
+ port is 27018 for instance 1, 27019 for instance 2 and 27020 for
+ instance 3:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ mongo –port
+
+ #. If connecting to the mongod process in Azure from your local
+ machine use the following command:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ mongo –host mongodbrs.cloudapp.net –port
+
+ #. In the :program:`mongo` shell type the following:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ > conf = {
+ _id = “mongors”,
+ members : [
+ {id:0, host:”mongodbrs.cloudapp.net:27018},
+ {id:0, host:”mongodbrs.cloudapp.net:27019},
+ {id:0, host:”mongodbrs.cloudapp.net:27020}]}
+ > rs.initiate(conf)
+
+ .. image:: img/image09.png
+
+ #. This will start the initialization of the mongodb replica set
+ #. Type the command ``rs.status()`` to check the status of the
+ replica set. Upon successful initialization, you should see 1 of
+ the 3 instances being the ``Primary`` of the set and the other 2
+ being the ``Secondaries``.
+
+ .. image:: img/image05.png
+
+ #. You have now successfully initiated the replica set
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+In this tutorial you have learned how to create a set of CentOS
+virtual machines on Windows Azure, deploy MongoDB to them and create a
+replica set out of them. You can access this set from anywhere using
+the connection string ``mongodb://mongodbrs.cloudapp.net:27018,
+mongodbrs.cloudapp.net:27019,
+mongodbrs.cloudapp.net:27020/?replicaSet=mongors``.
+
+More information on MongoDB can be found at
+http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/.
+
+To create and deploy a replica set to Windows Virtual Machines on
+Azure you can use the `MongoDB Installer for Windows Azure
+`_.
