Rollback

Learn how to rollback the chain version in the case of an unsuccessful chain upgrade. In order to restore a previous chain version, the following data must be recovered by validators:
  • the database that contains the state of the previous chain (in ~/.hyperpaxd/data by default)
  • the priv_validator_state.json file of the validator (also in ~/.hyperpaxd/data by default)
If validators don’t possess their database data, another validator should share a copy of the database. Validators will be able to download a copy of the data and verify it before starting their node. If validators don’t have the backup priv_validator_state.json file, then those validators will not have double-sign protection on their first block.

​
Restoring State Procedure

  1. First, stop your node.
  2. Then, copy the contents of your backup data directory back to the Paxeer Network_HOME/data directory (which, by default, should be ~/.hyperpaxd/data). 
# Assumes backup is stored in "backup" directory
rm -rf ~/.hyperpaxd/data
mv backup/.hyperpaxd/data ~/.hyperpaxd/data
  1. Next, install the previous version of Paxeer Network.
# from Paxeer Network directory
git checkout <prev_version>
make install
## verify version
hyperpaxd version --long
  1. Finally, start the node.
hyperpaxd start
