 Description   

We document how to setup an "ActiveWindow" for the balancer on http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/manage-sharded-cluster-balancer/

We fail to mention that the balancer "stopped" flag will need to be set to active with a command like:

sh.setBalancerState( true )

The balancer will not activate if the state is "stopped" or if outside the activeWindow.

Please mention that users SHOULD NOT use the sh.startBalancer() command when they have set an activeWindow, as the command will not return successfully as command may return an error.
