After updating to 1.26.1 / 1.26.2 my BP won't start anymore

Hello,

so after updating to 1.26.1 and later to 1.26.2 I am not able to start my block producer anymore. Temporary fix was to reset the database, but after a couple of hours (about 10) it crashed and did not start back up again. The error I am getting is:

Apr 26 09:52:36 aa bash[5419]: /home/cardano/cardano-my-node/startBlockProducingNode.sh: line 11: 5420 Killed cardano-node run --topology {TOPOLOGY} --database-path {DB_PATH} --socket-path {SOCKET_PATH} --host-addr {HOSTADDR} --port {PORT} --config {CONFIG} --shelley-kes-key {KES} --shelley-vrf-key {VRF} --shelley-operational-certificate ${CERT}

Anybody has the same issue/fix?

Thanks,

Matic

I can tell u that once u updated the nodes to a higher version than 1.25.1 the nodes need to re-sync the db (first time when it start). This process can take a while (from 40 minutes to few hours)

What is the status on glive?

Yep, I know they have to resync, but that is not the problem. As you can see from my post, as soon as the block producer replays the block progress, it fires up the start script for the block producer which then effectively crashes the process.

journalctl -e -f -u cardano-node.service

I hope you can read through this, otherwise tell me and I’ll figure something out.

nano or cat /home/cardano/cardano-my-node/startBlockProducingNode.sh and check the line 11

Line 11 is this:

cardano-node run --topology {TOPOLOGY} --database-path {DB_PATH} --socket-path {SOCKET_PATH} --host-addr {HOSTADDR} --port {PORT} --config {CONFIG} --shelley-kes-key {KES} --shelley-vrf-key {VRF} --shelley-operational-certificate ${CERT}

ok, try to start the node manually

disable and stop the systemd node

sudo systemctl stop cardano-node
sudo systemctl disable cardano-node

and try to start manually

./startBlockProducingNode.sh

if u have the same issue, then try to recreate the script from the guide, also try to check the paths for files, etc

should looks like:

cat > $NODE_HOME/startBlockProducingNode.sh << EOF 
DIRECTORY=$NODE_HOME
PORT=6000
HOSTADDR=0.0.0.0
TOPOLOGY=\${DIRECTORY}/${NODE_CONFIG}-topology.json
DB_PATH=\${DIRECTORY}/db

EOF

also for line 11 error u can take a look here

https://forum.cardano.org/search?q=startBlockProducingNode.sh:%20line%2011

So, it still crashed. I even tried using the relay node start script to minimise files, but it still crashed. I’m thinking it’s something about the database as it spat out this error:

[maticbp:cardano.node.ChainDB:Error:5] [2021-04-26 12:09:37.88 UTC] Invalid snapshot DiskSnapshot {dsNumber = 27827376, dsSuffix = Nothing}InitFailureRead (ReadFailed (DeserialiseFailure 176891292 “end of input”))

Now, as I mentioned in my post it DID work after I reset the database but 10 hours later it crashed and maybe (corrupted) the database somehow?

Hmm, can be; perhaps better to delete the db and resync again the node? Or try to copy the db from one of ur relay

Yeah, I will copy the database from the relay, but I don’t wanna do this every 10 hours if it crashes. :frowning:

Any update on this issue - do you have a synced db?

I had the same problem.
The reason: I was running out of memory, and that made my node crash after upgrading to 1.26
I am testing on a virtual machine that has less than recommended memory and was running other applications as well.

Yep, will be switching VPS plan to a better one as it seems like RAM is a bit of a problem after the latest release. It is running stable for 24 hours now, but better safe than sorry.

Yep, figured so. Will be switching to a better VPS plan (in this case another provider), do I only have to copy the operational keys and leave it be on another machine or do i have to re-register the pool if you know? @Alexd1985

Don’t need to register again the pool;
Move what u have now in priv folder to the new server

alright, thanks
