pledge one sector and seal one deal

pledge a sector or a storage deal can well check whether your cluster works normally. At the same time, you can also observe the life cycle of the sector to understand and troubleshoot the faults encountered during the operation of the program

check lotus seal worker

lotus-miner sealing workers

You can see the workers and hostname of the specific worker.

pledge one sector

Execute the command, please one sector

lotus-miner sectors pledge

If you have multiple lotus seal workers, each phase of sector may be running on different workers. Please pay attention to which lotus seal worker each phase is running on. You can view it mainly through the following commands:

lotus-miner sealing workers
lotus-miner sealing jobs

To view the state of a sector:

lotus-miner sectors list

To view the permanent sector storage location:

lotus-miner storage find <sector_ num>

The most common faults of lotus seal workers come from seal path, permanent storage path, and proof process. Understanding these concepts and corresponding viewing methods can quickly locate faults.

send one deal from the client to your storage provider

Before sending deals, please ensure that you have enabled the online storage deals on your storage provider. If you set the price, please ensure that the client address has enough balance to send a deal

Step 1 import data

lotus client import <data>

Please replace < data > with the location of your data, and you will get the following contents: import 1635085512911432458, root bafk2bzaceaky5vu3ngvnyh73xy6xy3taym3gnc75dvshox3tpchgzl4njzwju the last column is datacid

Step 2 send a deal

lotus client deal [command options] [dataCid miner price duration]

Step 3 seal the deal

You can view the deal information in the storage provider. Generally, if the data you send is small, you will not start sealing immediately. Since we are testing, you can start sealing manually

To see which sector received the deal:

lotus-miner sectors list

If you receive a deal, there will be a sector in waitdeals. Although the deal has been received, when it is not enough to fill the whole sector, the sector will still wait for more deals instead of starting seal immediately

Start seal sector manually:

lotus-miner sectors seal [command options] <sectorNum>

tips

1: do not pledge too many sectors in the beginning.

2: if you have multiple lotus seal workers. sector data will transfer between workers. you need a faster SSD and high bandwidth.

3: seal verified deal is a more efficient way to get storage power.
