I am setting up a quorum network with Quorum-maker, which uses Geth. It is running at the moment, with three alive nodes. However, earlier I had attempted to create two other nodes, which failed. I have since killed them off.

Now, the master node is still trying to connect to them multiple times per second. This creates a lot of logs. These logs are in the gethLogs directory, which is why I believe this is a geth issue rather than quorum specific.

The message itself makes perfect sense, these two nodes (4 & 5) don't exist anymore, hence it makes sense that geth can't connect. What I am looking for is a way to get Geth to stop trying to connect to these nodes. Ideally I want to delete them from the master node entirely. At the very least I want geth to stop logging about it.

You need to remove the stale nodes from Raft.

Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Quorum docs.

  • Hm, it says "attach to a JS console and issue raft.removePeer(raftId)", but doesn't explain what that means. How do I get this JS console with raft?

  • You need to attach to the geth JS console to issue commands like raft.removePeer. That's done using geth attach, but you'll need a further parameter to specify the http address or the IPC file. Take a look in the Ethereum docs if you need further info on that - it's standard Ethereum.

  • geth console is a wrapper around JSON-RPC methods geth node exposes via the rpcapi, wsapi, or ipc. You may also curl the API directly or use our JS library that offers raft API in the extensions: github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum.js

  • @Satpal Sandhu: I'm afraid that still doesn't help. How do I get a "JS console"? geth attach just gets me the normal go terminal and raft doesn't work there.

  • @fixanoid quorum-js seems to be broken, complains "TypeError: web3.extend is not a function"
