RE: Scripts for Managing Multiple SmartCash Smart Nodes on One Server

in #smartcash7 years ago (edited)

All nodes on one server one point of failure by the same argument one point to manage. I would like to know the specifications of the server you use for this . Is it virtual or a physical server. Another question I have wondered about is how you solve the issue of unique IP addresses. I may reconsidere my setup if this is really workable. Thanks for sharing. I am re-steeming this.

It's a dedicated server. I originally went for a 64G server to manage them all, but there was a limitation in the number of IPs I could get, so now I have a 64G and a 32G. I could have easily done the nodes I wanted with just two 32G servers. It is a potential point of failure, but we're already up over 5k nodes, so I don't think it's a real concern for the network. I'll be adding even more monitoring scripts so it'll text me if needed, as I've done with my witness servers.

Thanks for the very detailed reply. I will seriously look at this option it is certainly more efficient to manage. It is a better plan for scaling number of nodes as well as handling more volume of transactions in the future.
