Identity generation for second node

[ACarneiro]

Quick question.
The instructions for generating an identity state the command “identity generate storagenode”

If I’m creating a second identity for a second (or third or nth) node on the same machine should I change the command to “identity generate newnodename” or do I keep the command the same?

Thanks!

yes, command is the same, just run it, copy the identity somewhere safe, and run it again, and again

“identity generate storagenode”

Its creating identity

identity create storagenode

@ACarneiro

creating a second identity for a second (or third or nth) node on the same machine should I change the command to "identity generate "

Yes, you can try this

identity create storagenode2

This will be stored at appdata\storj\identity\storagenode2 (in Windows)
You can use this exact path for your second node.

That shouldn’t be the real solution. Follow what @nerdatwork suggested.
