# Network Upgrade: 3-keyleth
IMPORTANT
TestNet was successfully upgraded to 3-keyleth
in block 7,841,840
MainNet was successfully upgraded to 3-keyleth
in block 6,943,000
Note
This guide is for operators already running a node. For new nodes, please see the Install und with Cosmovisor documentation.
There are two possible methods for upgrading:
- Automatically, using Cosmovisor (recommended)
- Manually
# Automatically upgrade from und v1.7.x to v1.8.x using Cosmovisor
IMPORTANT: This guide assumes the reader has implemented the required changes outlined in Using Cosmovisor with und: Quick Start and migrated their services before using this guide.
# Configuring Cosmovisor
The following can be implemented well in advance of the actual upgrade occurring, which will allow for a completely automated upgrade.
IMPORTANT During the upgrade, cosmovisor
will automatically do a full backup of the .und_mainchain/data
directory. Ensure your host has adequate disk space to accommodate the backup. This may add significant time
to the upgrade process, and as such, the process may take up to 30 minutes before the node comes back online.
# 1. Create the Cosmovisor upgrade plan directory
This will be dependent on how you configured cosmovisor
, and your actual .und_mainchain
path:
mkdir -p $HOME/.und_mainchain/cosmovisor/upgrades/3-keyleth/bin
# 2. Download the latest und
v1.8.x and add to Cosmovisor's upgrades
directory
mkdir -p $HOME/tmp && cd $HOME/tmp
wget https://github.com/unification-com/mainchain/releases/download/v1.8.2/und_v1.8.2_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf und_v1.8.2_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
mkdir -p $HOME/.und_mainchain/cosmovisor/upgrades/3-keyleth/bin
mv und $HOME/.und_mainchain/cosmovisor/upgrades/3-keyleth/bin
$HOME/.und_mainchain/cosmovisor/upgrades/3-keyleth/bin/und version --log_level=""
Check the version output is 1.8.2
!
The directory structure for $HOME/.und_mainchain/cosmovisor
should now look as follows:
That's it! When the upgrade height specified in the governance proposal is reached, Cosmovisor and the upgrade
module will handle the rest automatically.
# Cosmovisor Upgrade process overview
Briefly, at the upgrade height, Cosmovisor will automatically:
- Stop the
und
v1.7.x binary - Backup
.und_mainchain/data
to.und_mainchain/data-backup-YYYY-M-DD
* - Reconfigure itself to use
und
v1.8.x - Restart
und
using the new version
*Ensure the host has enough space to back up
# Manual upgrade (not recommended)
The alternative to implementing Cosmovisor is to manually upgrade the binary. Once the upgrade height specified in the
governance proposal is reached, the upgrade
module will automatically halt the node via a panic
. The node operator
will then need to:
- Stop the
und
v1.7.x binary, viasystemd
or their chosen method - Backup the
und_mainchain/data
directory - Download and install the latest
und
v1.8.x, replacing the old v1.7.x binary (for example in/usr/local/bin
) - Restart the
und
binary, viasystemd
or their chosen method.
Since the process involves manual intervention, monitoring and execution, the process may take longer.
