mongodb :: failures in bring up mongo server I am unable to add a replica to the cluster.

Steps tried:


done hot backup for existing member.
Copied it to new replica.
Tried to start the server, it's failing with these errors:

We are using percona mongodb - 4.0.13-7

What could be the reason?
If you add a new replica node, Mongodb will itself copy the data across to the new node. Unless if your data size is huge and do not want your network to be flooded in transferring the data you can follow the backup method.
