Description
In the documentation page http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/deploy-replica-set/ , there is no mention of the fact that users should verify connectivity between all three nodes in the replica set before beginning to configure replication.
Given hosts A, B, and C, the following command needs to be run on each host:
On Host A:
$ mongo --host B
$ mongo --host C
Similarly, the same commands (verifying connectivity to the other two hosts) need to be run on hosts B and C. If these connections fail, initial synchronization will fail.
