Installing MongoDB

Install latest mongodb-org from Mongo Repository. Different Linux versions require different mongo versions and installation methods.

Here are a few:

Try to use a respository-based method if possible. It will make ongoing support easier.

Setup NFS

Setup NFS Exports on the BroadWorks Application Servers

Make sure the following packages are installed:
    nfs-utils-*
    nfs-utils-lib-*
    rpcbind-*

Add something similar to the /etc/exports file

    /var/broadworks/billing 10.110.1.161(rw,fsid=0,sync,no_root_squash)

chkconfig nfs on
chkconfig rpcbind on

service nfs start
service rpcbind start

Upgrade from 3.X to 4

Run the mongo client and execute the following commands:

    use fraudstopper;
    db.users.update({}, {$set: {sourceName: "production"}}, {multi: true});
    db.filestats.update({}, {$set: {sourceName: "production"}}, {multi: true});

These commands will update the existing users and filestats documents to include the production sourceName. If the source name you've specific in the configuration file is different than 'production', modify the update commands as appropriate.
