Change Storage Device
Example cases include changing from HDD to SSD or to a larger HDD/SSD. When changing storage devices, please ensure that the new device has at least as much storage as the old device.
The steps to change the storage device are as follows:
-
Stop the storage node
-
Back up all data on the old storage device
-
Unmount the old storage device
-
Change the storage device
-
Mount the new storage device in the same directory as the old storage device
-
Restore all data from the backup
-
Restart the node
Increase Storage Commitment
If your storage device has more storage capacity than your current storage commitment, you can increase your storage commitment:
-
Navigate to the node's details page on the Iagon web dashboard
-
Select the 3-dot menu at the top right and select Resize Node
-
Use the slider or input field to set the amount of storage you want to add to your node's commitment
-
Click Next to continue to stake the amount of IAG required to commit the additional storage capacity
-
After staking, the additional storage commitment will be applied to your node
Migrate Node
Move the node to a different server or host system.
-
Install the storage node on the new server, taking note of the auth key that is generated
-
With both nodes running, navigate to the old node's details page, select the 3-dot menu at the top right, and select Move Node
-
Input the auth key of the new node and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the migration
Retire Node
When a node is retired, it will be removed from the network and any data on the node will be deleted. This process takes 3 months to complete and is irreversible. This means you will not be able to withdraw your staked IAG until 3 months after retirement is initiated.
-
Navigate to the node's details page on the Iagon web dashboard
-
Select the 3-dot menu at the top right and select Retire Node
-
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the retirement process
Known Issues

-
Issue: Usually a corrupted configuration file issue seen with Windows nodes.

Fix: Kill the node process in the Details tab of Task Manager, delete the iagon-node folder in your user directory, then restart the node.
