(Solved) Unable to nuke and restart a node

#1

I have a server with multiple nodes. node_data_2 which had been online for days stalled.

  • docker stop / start no change
  • bootstrap to re sync beacon and shard data no change
  • attempted to nuke the whole thing and restart with blink.sh - it didn’t populate that folder with anything but the rest of the validators seem to be fine.

So currently it is offline and only it’s root ‘node_data_2’ folder exists.

Not sure about next steps @support, I’m hoping to avoid having to nuke everyone to get this back online. I have 8 epochs to do it.

You have any other node on the same shard (or a full node)? In that case you can copy the node_data_* folder over from the working one.

Not sure why it wouldn’t start syncing if you start it with an empty data folder. Did you check the .log files for errors?

#3

there’s actually an “.error” file in the node data folder. Can you show us that?

#4

@Josh_Hamon please bootstrap data then ping me on telegram, i will try to get setup

#5

I removed all files, so no error file available

#6

A second bootstrap seemed to have solved the problem. Does the node monitor check the nodes themselves or blockchain? ie. Do I need to be more patience and wait for the updates to come from the blocks?

Rocky, only thing I can see on this file is one line “2022/01/21 19:28:06 Using network param file for mainnet”
