Hi, I am trying to retire my pool for several times now and I always face the same problem at the same place. I am following Coincashew tutorial: > **[Guide: How to build a Cardano Stake Pool](https://www.coincashew.com/coins/overview-ada/guide-how-to-build-a-haskell-stakepool-node#19-retire-your-stake-pool)** > > On Ubuntu/Debian, this guide will illustrate how to install and configure a Cardano stake pool from source code on a two node setup with 1 block producer node and 1 relay node. I manage to go through every step but on the last command: ```auto cardano-cli transaction submit \ --tx-file tx.signed \ --mainnet ``` It hangs and I don’t get any feedback ![Screen Shot 2021-10-08 at 21.19.13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/4/b/4bf3eedaa7fd5e75f4a4d64bb53d16ac96ee8bdc.png) Could you please guide me on what could it be? Thanks! ---

If your node fully synced? ---

Regarding node sync check you can execute `cardano-cli query tip --mainnet` and check `syncProgress`. ---

You guys are right! This is the output after running` cardano-cli query tip --mainnet` ````auto { "epoch": 289, "hash": "e72579f...", "slot": 39916796, "block": 6236059, "era": "Mary" } ``` Could you guys let me know how do I sync the nodes? Thank you guys! ```` ---

What version are you running? ```auto cardano-cli --version cardano-node --version ``` ---

I am running cardano-node 1.27.0. `cardano-node 1.27.0 - linux-x86_64 - ghc-8.10` ---

The latest version will give you `syncProgress` when running the command above. Since the Alonso hard fork (Sep 12th) 1.27.0 is outdated. You need to upgrade to the latest version `1.30.1` as soon as possible. ---

I could make it on 1.30.1, in case you can’t update as suggested. ---

Okay then first I’ll need to upgrade the versions, currently I am trying to upgrade to 1.30.1 by following these instructions: > **[r/CardanoStakePools - Upgrade Cardano node to version 1.30.1 for Coincashew...](https://www.reddit.com/r/CardanoStakePools/comments/py6gsa/upgrade_cardano_node_to_version_1301_for/)** > > 11 votes and 6 comments so far on Reddit But on the “last” step ```auto journalctl --unit=cardano-node --follow ``` i’m getting the following error: ```auto [relay2:cardano.node.ChainDB:Info:5] [2021-10-10 13:45:45.51 UTC] Closed db with immutable tip at fd6a583393c23911b2eb2b7734ec4d17a69a381b9ac533772b989e87e98cc452 at slot 39874230 and tip e72579ff89dc9ed325b723a33624b596c08141c7bd573ecfff56a1f7229e4d09 at slot 39916796 Oct 10 13:46:33 relay2 cardano-node[30644]: AesonException "Error in $: key \"AlonzoGenesisFile\" not found" ``` Any ideas how can i fix this error? ---

Read also the `1.29.0` upgrade instructions as there were some configuration parameters added. You cannot upgrade from 1.27.0 to 1.30.1 without adding parameters that were part of 1.29.0.
