Initiate replica set via Ruby

[geoffr]

Hi,

We are busy writing a Ruby app to test that the members of a replica
set are available and if they are would like to be able to initiate
the set using puppet. The config is not yet in mongo and so the
command that we would run from the dbshell would be:

mongo admin --eval 'rs.initiate({_id: "repl_set_name", members: [{_id:
0, host: "test0"},{_id: 1, host: "test1"},{_id: 2, host:
"test2"}] }) ## which works

But I was hoping there's a mongo method available in Ruby to insert
the config and initiate it? We are using the mongo gem to test the
connection and such like (Mongo::ReplSetConnection).

Thanks
Geoff

initiate is just a helper.

> rs.initiate
function (c) {
return db._adminCommand({replSetInitiate:c});
}

So you can do
DB.command( { "replSetInitiates" => { ..config.. } } ) in ruby
