A warning about the V19 update.. you might have to resynch the Blockchain which takes hours (9 hours) and pose bans your masternode!

I don't know if it is just me but every single Update fails and often leads to a poseban of my nodes because I can't fix it within less than half a day!

And I even use Masternode-Zeus which is awesome but still it goes all down to trash for me.

Some helpful things/steps.


1) Putty login as Dashadmin


2) 50 Gbyte SSD is at the very limit now (recommended is 60) so you will have to check if you have still enough diskspace:
check for used up diskspace


3) You most likely have to update Masternode-Zeus the old didn't want to update to v19

To do so I first remove the Masternode-Zeus folder.. I haven't found a better way..  Linux is a strange world to me:
(Note you might have it in a different folder or place)

and say yes to every /.git/objects delete request !!!
if fails try again and if still fails try with

Once that is gone you fcan get it fresh from github


4) Start Masternode-Zeus


5) best to do first
is select 4.Reclaim free disk space
select r to reboot
and then you have to Putty login as Dashadmin admin again and start Masternode-Zeus again

6) select 3. Manage the nodes (DO NOT select install new Dash bin..happend to me on one node )
there select 1. Update the dash bins and check if it worked
then select 2. Update sentinel.

DO not do that! I believe that is a troubeling step..likely dash is still synchroniceing.. but I useually at that point want to reboot the whole server

7) check status of the masternode with Masternode-Zeus

if dashd isn't working then check the dash logfile for errors with Masternode-Zeus
Note that viewing the log file also seems critical.. it hung my whole node twice already!! But you have to do it if dashd isn't working.

for me forexample it said: I have to resynch the blockchain. You can do that in Masternode-Zeus
Really that Tool is gold! So good.

Befor you do the resynch you have to check if you have an automatic reboot installed (I have a daily reboot on my systems)
You have to go to root first:
then

to see if you have something there.. if so you might have to deactivate it before you do a 10 hours resynch

Anyway my resynch hung after 7 hours anyway.... yeah morphy ..I manage to nothing works smooth ever in linux.

If you had to resynch (takes ours) have fun reactivating your nodes out of Poseban!!

At that point it is strongly recommended to wait for right after you got a payment else be prepared to lose a whole week of payment!

Hope that helps others to have a less stressfull update.

cheers
