Node Actions

The following actions can be found under the Actions menu in Node Details. They can result in downtime while the node restarts, so be cautious when performing actions on a node who’s downtime could cause issues.

Clone Node

Clone an existing node to quickly expand your available resources under load or to easily add more validators and collators. When Lightning Restoreis available, the new node will be up and running within minutes with same configuration and launch arguments. You are able to change the size and storage after deploying.

New Validators and Collators will need to be configured once they are synced, as they will need separate keys. See Set up your Validator or Collator

Edit a running node’s Launch Arguments by selecting the Launch Configuration tab and pressing Edit. The node will restart after saving changes.

Read Dedicated Node Launch Arguments for detailed help.
