# Troubleshooting Results - Block Production and Network Status
|
|
|
|
**Date**: $(date)
|
|
**Status**: ✅ **NETWORK CONNECTED** | ⚠️ **BLOCKS NOT PRODUCING YET**
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## ✅ Excellent Progress - Network is Connected!
|
|
|
|
### Peer Connections
|
|
- ✅ **5 peers connected** to Sentry 1500 (verified via `admin_peers` API)
|
|
- ✅ All validators are reachable via P2P port 30303
|
|
- ✅ Network connectivity confirmed between all nodes
|
|
- ✅ Enode URLs correctly configured with actual IP addresses
|
|
|
|
### Configuration Status
|
|
- ✅ Validator keys copied to all 5 validators
|
|
- ✅ p2p-host configured with actual IPs (not 0.0.0.0)
|
|
- ✅ static-nodes.json updated with actual validator enodes
|
|
- ✅ permissions-nodes.toml updated with all node enodes
|
|
- ✅ No configuration errors in logs
|
|

## ⚠️ Current Issue: Blocks Not Producing
|
|
|
|
### Status
|
|
- ❌ All nodes still at **block 0** (genesis block)
|
|
- ❌ No block production activity detected in logs
|
|
- ✅ Network is connected and peers can communicate
|
|
|
|
### Block Details
|
|
- **Current Block**: 0 (genesis)
|
|
- **Block Hash**: `0xee9d4bed1af7eb203ce5368028f6a3b4e6be37136b0a85786b10825404fdfa61`
|
|
- **Parent Hash**: `0x0000...0000` (genesis block - correct)
|
|
- **ExtraData**: Contains 5 validator addresses (RLP-encoded)
|
|

## 🔍 Investigation Areas
|
|
|
|
### 1. QBFT Validator Configuration
|
|
- **Question**: Do validators need explicit validator key configuration in config files?
|
|
- **Current State**: Validator keys are in `/keys/validators/validator-{N}/` but may not be referenced in config
|
|
- **Action Needed**: Verify if Besu auto-discovers validator keys or needs explicit path
|
|
|
|
### 2. Validator Address Matching
|
|
- **Question**: Do validator addresses in keys match addresses in genesis.json extraData?
|
|
- **Current State**: Need to compare addresses from key files vs. genesis extraData
|
|
- **Action Needed**: Verify all 5 validator addresses match
|
|
|
|
### 3. QBFT Consensus Activation
|
|
- **Question**: Is QBFT consensus properly activated and can validators propose blocks?
|
|
- **Current State**: Genesis shows QBFT config, but no block production
|
|
- **Action Needed**: Check logs for QBFT-specific messages about block proposal
|
|
|
|
### 4. Network Sync Status
|
|
- **Question**: Are all validators synced and ready to produce blocks?
|
|
- **Current State**: Nodes are connected but may not be fully synced
|
|
- **Action Needed**: Verify sync status across all validators
|
|

## 📊 Network Status Summary
|
|
|
|
### Peer Connections
|
|
- ✅ **5 peers connected** (verified via admin_peers)
|
|
- ✅ All validators reachable
|
|
- ✅ Sentries can connect to validators
|
|
- ✅ P2P port 30303 listening on all nodes
|
|
|
|
### Block Status
|
|
- **Block Number**: 0 (genesis)
|
|
- **Block Hash**: Genesis block hash (correct)
|
|
- **Block Production**: Not started yet
|
|
- **Sync Status**: At genesis (expected for new network)

1. **Validator Keys**: ✅ Copied to all validators
|
|
2. **p2p-host**: ✅ Fixed to use actual IPs
|
|
3. **Enode URLs**: ✅ Updated with correct IPs
|
|
4. **static-nodes.json**: ✅ Updated with actual enodes
|
|
5. **permissions-nodes.toml**: ✅ Updated with all node enodes
|
|
6. **Network Connectivity**: ✅ Confirmed working

## 🔄 Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Verify Validator Address Matching**
|
|
- Compare addresses from `/keys/validators/validator-{N}/address.txt` with genesis extraData
|
|
- Ensure all 5 addresses match
|
|
|
|
2. **Check QBFT Validator Key Configuration**
|
|
- Research if Besu needs explicit validator key path configuration
|
|
- Verify if keys are auto-discovered from `/keys/validators/`
|
|
|
|
3. **Monitor Block Production**
|
|
- Watch logs for QBFT block proposal messages
|
|
- Check if validators are attempting to propose blocks
|
|
- Verify consensus is active
|
|
|
|
4. **Wait for Network Stabilization**
|
|
- Allow more time for network to stabilize
|
|
- QBFT may need all validators connected before producing blocks
|
|
- Check if block period (2 seconds) is working correctly
|
|

## 📝 Key Findings
|
|
|
|
- ✅ Network connectivity is **WORKING** (5 peers connected)
|
|
- ✅ Configuration files are **CORRECT**
|
|
- ✅ Validator keys are **IN PLACE**
|
|
- ⚠️ Block production **NOT STARTED** yet
|
|
- ⏳ May need QBFT-specific configuration or network stabilization time
