Unable to gracefully exit (satellite.stefan-benten.de - connection refused)

[mangoo]

I’m moving to a different country, and need to shut down my node - however, it doesn’t work as described in fine documentation - it complains that it can’t connect to satellite.stefan-benten.de and the process is interrupted.
Will I still be able to exit gracefully if I still have data from satellite.stefan-benten.de?

That satellite has shut down

Update on satellite.stefan-benten.de Satellite Payout Data on the SNO Dashboard

Hey Everyone! Now that we have paid back all of the held amounts for the satellite.stefan-benten.de Satellite it is going to be shut down in 5 days. This means you will only be able to see the payment data for your node on this satellite for the next 5 days. All other satellite payment data will NOT be affected and you will continue to be able to see that data whenever you would like. We would like to urge everyone to take one final look at your payment data on the SNO dashboard for the satell…

Since held amount has already been paid you don’t need to worry about that satellite. You can proceed with rest of them.

[mangoo]

All right, so I’ve tried to exit gracefully without satellite.stefan-benten.de - unfortunately it still fails, stating that I’m not allowed to graceful exit on some of the satellites. It then does not list on which satellite, although the wording suggests it wanted to list them:

How old is your node ?

[mangoo]

I don’t know how old my node is. How can I check it?

[nerdatwork]

Go here. http://127.0.0.1:14002/payout-information

Under held amount table you would see list of satellites and _ months. _ is the number

[mangoo]

@nerdatwork

http://127.0.0.1:14002/payout-information

I’ve tried “links http://127.0.0.1:14002/payout-information”, but it doesn’t show anything.

curl returns some HTML, with encoded binary image/png;base64 using most of the output.

Are there any more friendly ways to check node age via SSH?

[nerdatwork]

@mangoo

more friendly ways

Looks my node was first started on 2019-10-24.

So its age is 11 months.

[nerdatwork]

Enter single satellite and see if it works.

[mangoo]

So - I’m connected to several satellites.

To some of them, my node joined on 2019-11-24. I was able to start graceful exit from them.

To one satellite, my node joined on 2020-04-18 (europe-north-1). I’m unable to exit from it.

This seems to contradict Graceful Exit Guide requirements:

Graceful Exit Guide

The Storage node has joined the network more than 15 month ago (this requirement was
temporarily reduced to 6 month, but the required wait time may be changed as needed).

My node joined the network more than 6 months ago, so I would expect I should be able to exit all nodes? Or is documentation imprecise?

[nerdatwork]

@mangoo

My node joined the network more than 6 months ago,

Correct.

@mangoo

so I would expect I should be able to exit all nodes?

You are performing GE from satellite not nodes. This transaction is between satellite and your node so your node’s age on the said satellite matters irrespective of your node’s age in the network.

[mangoo]

OK, so it means I will be able to exit gracefully from SOME satellites.

And from some other satellites - I won’t be able to exit and will be disqualified, even though my node has joined the network more than 6 months ago.

[nerdatwork]

@mangoo

I won’t be able to exit and will be disqualified

Yes you would be disqualified only from europe-north-1 as your node is not old enough to exit.

@mangoo

joined the network

I agree the way its phrased is confusing but again its not about your node’s age joining the network but when it first connected with the satellite.
