I have several computers on the same network, what would be better to mount a node in each one with the same email (identity) or better an email (identity for each one ?.
Another question to be in the same network (now I have one mounted with the 28967), would I have to put a different port for each one? how can I do it?
For new node need new indetity. it can have same email, just get new key and generate ne indetity.
You dont need to wait first is full, nodes will share trafic, and will work faster when there is big load like now. and yes you need to configure different port, if you have separete pc then you can configure in router port forward, if pc is the same then need to configure entierly enother ports and make forward.
this is not true. Started a new node on 19th may and it is vetted on 3 satellites and hosting 422GB of data while my 1 year old node is not 100% full. The real question is “is it worth it ?”
I would imagine that would be sensible, as the second node will need a fair amount of time to be vetted.
Personally I think I’ll start a second node when my first one is half to 3/4 full
If the long term goal is to have multiple nodes I would think it’s best to get the second node up right away if you already have the hardware running, or at latest once the first mode is fully vetted. It still takes a full 15 months to get fully out of payment hold back, regardless of the amount of data.
You want at least one vetted node with free space at all time. That way you get 100% of possible traffic. So, I would definitely wait to start the second one until the first it vetted on all satellites. Then start the next right away. You might even want to start the third as well. But depending on the size of the disks at some point it makes no sense to have say 5x10TB running and only have 1TB used on each. That’s just wasting power at that point. It also really doesn’t matter whether you get the held back months now or later, you’ll have to go through those months anyway.
Thanks, I’ll do that. I’m nearly vetted on all satellites (I’m ignoring stefan-benten.de as that’s just a test one that’s soon disappearing, I think) so will be starting a second node in a couple of weeks.
It might not disappear but be repurposed instead. Either way I don’t think it makes sense to wait for that one right now as it’ll likely take a long time to get vetted.
This is not what people suggest to SNO’s. Everyone is suggesting to have 1 node her HDD rather than a raid with multiple HDD’s and 1 node. So… don’t be surprised to see new questions on how to achieve this now.
The advantage of a 2nd node is split risk. You won’t get more data but if one drive fails, you lost less data.
So if I had spare drives, I would start the next node once the previous one has been vetted.
That way when one drive fails, it might contain only 20% of the data you have stored on all drives.
it’s no-RAID vs no-RAID
Edit: sorry thought this was the other thread lol… yeah it’s close to raid vs no-raid. The advice however was similar to the other thread and is about timining with no-raid
