Hello All,
I’m currently working on an Anible Playbook to dowgrade a shadred cluster from 4.2 to 4.0. I’m following the steps documented at… https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/4.2-downgrade-sharded-cluster/
After disabling the balancer I then move onto a Play that upgrades the mongos instances. This play I run serially so it should work through the mongos instance one by one. This fails on the first instance, when starting the downgraded version of the mongos service, with the following message…
"2020-12-06T16:38:16.059+0000 I NETWORK [mongosMain] Starting new replica set monitor for cfg/ mongos2.local:27019, mongos3.local:27019,mongos1.local:27019

I have confirmed the mongos instance has been downgraded to 4.0…
[vagrant@mongos1 ~]$ mongos --version
mongos version v4.0.21
git version: 3f68a848c68e993769589dc18e657728921d8367

build environment:

The config server is still running the 4.2 version as expected…
[vagrant@mongos1 ~]$ mongod --version
db version v4.2.11
git version: ea38428f0c6742c7c2c7f677e73d79e17a2aab96

My config servers are running on the same hosts as the mongos processes. The documentation clearly states to upgrade the mongos instances before the shards or config servers. Is something wrong or am I missing something here?
Cheers,
Rhys
