You can mix and match sharded and unsharded dbs and collections very easily.
For example, you can have 3 databases in a cluster, only 1 of which
has sharding enabled.
The other 2 dbs will live entirely on 1 shard and mongos will route.
For the 1 sharded db, it can have sharded and non-sharded collections
as well and all will be routed through mongos.
Bring up mongos
add only old shard with existing data
access it, mongos will learn where it is.
Add more shards.
