            <title>[DOCS-13426] Fix confusion with startBalancer and activeWindows</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-13426</link>
                <project id="10380" key="DOCS">Documentation</project>
                    <description>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;Description&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Description&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.6/tutorial/manage-sharded-cluster-balancer/#modify-the-balancer-s-window&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;docs&lt;/a&gt; for setting up a balancing window include a note:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Do not use the sh.startBalancer() method when you have set an activeWindow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I believe this is because it&apos;s not necessary to call &lt;tt&gt;startBalancer&lt;/tt&gt; again as step 3 already does this via &lt;tt&gt;sh.setBalancerState( true )&lt;/tt&gt; (see &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/f48da7a0f83762d214128799923e4bcede800dbe/src/mongo/shell/utils_sh.js#L150&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;code&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For deployments where the balancer has accidentally been disabled via &lt;tt&gt;sh.setBalancerState( false )}, the only way to re-enable the balancer is to run {{sh.startBalancer()&lt;/tt&gt;. We&apos;ve confirmed that this does not force the balancer to start outside the window.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;Proposedchanges&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Proposed changes&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. Remove the comment &lt;tt&gt;Do not use the sh.startBalancer() method when you have set an activeWindow.&lt;/tt&gt; or replace with &lt;tt&gt;As the balancer was activated in step 3, you do not need to call sh.startBalancer() again&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. Add something like &lt;tt&gt;If the balancer has been disabled for maintenance, you can re-enable it again with sh.startBalancer() and it will activate again &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; at the next window.&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;Scopeofchanges&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Scope of changes&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;ImpacttoOtherDocs&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Impact to Other Docs&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;MVP%28WorkandDate%29&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;MVP (Work and Date)&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;Resources%28ScopeorDesignDocs%2CInvision%2Cetc.%29&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Resources (Scope or Design Docs, Invision, etc.)&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was confirmed for 3.6 -&amp;gt; 4.4? Just confirming, if so this is a simple change.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
