Scaling Curio cluster

This page describes how to add additional nodes or miner IDs to a Curio cluster

Migrating additional lotus-miner to Curio

To migrate your second or later lotus-miner to an existing Curio cluster, you need to follow the same steps as before. The only exception would be that there is no need to install a new YugabyteDB cluster. After installing the curio binary on the lotus-miner node, you can run curio guided-setup to start the migration.

Initialising additional Miner IDs in existing Curio cluster

The process to initiate a new minerID on the network is same as when you initialise a new Curio cluster with a new minerID. The only exception would be that there is no need to install a new YugabyteDB cluster

Migrating lotus-worker to Curio cluster

Once you have migrated a minerID to the Curio cluster, you would need to repurpose all of your lotus-worker nodes attached to the migrated minerID as Curio nodes.

1. Install curio binary on the lotus-worker node.

2. Configure the service ENV file with correct details.

3. Start the new curio node and verify in GUI that the new node is now part of the cluster.

4. Attach the existing storage to the Curio node.

5. Repeat for the rest of the workers.

Adding nodes to Curio cluster

To add new nodes to an existing Curio cluster, please follow the below process.

• Install curio binary.

• Configure the service ENV file with correct details.

• Start the new curio node and verify in GUI that the new node is now part of the cluster.

• Attach any new or existing storage if required.

• Repeat for any additional nodes to be attached.
