Graceful exit turned badly?

Node Operators FAQ

Hi Guys,

I have ran the commands to gracefully exit but I don’t know if something went wrong~ please have a look at the commands below & advise on what should I do?

[root@storage1 ~]# docker exec -it storagenode /app/storagenode exit-satellite --config-dir /app/config --identity-dir /app/identity
2021-08-23T10:16:10.035Z        INFO    Configuration loaded    {"Location": "/app/config/config.yaml"}

By starting a graceful exit from a satellite, you will no longer receive new uploads from that satellite.
This action can not be undone.

Can't find any non-exiting satellites.

Hello @jcn50 !

This looks exactly right to me, the process of gracefully exiting the network takes time. In the last command you can see that you already made it 10.08% far on US2.
In order to even start the process the satellite needs to collect the full list of pieces that your storagenode needs to transfer, which depending on the timing can take a couple of hours. Only after that you will actually start transfering pieces off of your node.

At this stage just be patient and get some :beer: , :coffee: or :tea: and enjoy your time :stuck_out_tongue:

@stefanbenten : Thanks for your confirmation!

I can see the other nodes’ percentage increasing too. At this rate it will take some days. I will be patient!

What is the command I need to run once I have 100% everywhere?

Run the status command one last time and make sure you save the completion receipts somewhere. They are your proof that the exit was finished successfully. Other than that, nothing left to do after it’s all done.

An update:

  • it took a week to complete
  • since I am running the node in Docker I have to run something like:
docker ps # to list the containers
docker stop # to stop the containers
docker rm $CONTAINDERID1 $CONTAINDERID2 # to delete the containers
docker images # to list the images
docker rmi $IMAGE1 $IMAGE2 # to delete the images

I will do this after the last payment has been done (just in case I still need it).

I have done that thank you!
