## Fixes Applied

### 1. Host Allowlist Configuration
- **Issue**: "Host not authorized" error
- **Root Cause**: Besu requires `host-allowlist=["*"]` (not `rpc-http-host-allowlist`)
- **Fix**: Added `host-allowlist=["*"]` to all config files
- **Result**: ✅ VMID 2400, 2501, 2502 now working
- **Note**: Correct TOML option is `host-allowlist`, not `rpc-http-host-allowlist`

### 2. Configuration Errors
- **Fixed**: Removed `fast-sync-min-peers` from VMID 2401, 2402
- **Fixed**: Copied missing `genesis.json` files
- **Fixed**: Copied permissions files to correct locations

### 3. Missing Files
- **Fixed**: Copied `genesis.json` to all nodes
- **Fixed**: Copied `static-nodes.json` to all nodes
- **Fixed**: Copied `permissions-nodes.toml` to `/etc/besu/` for VMID 2503-2508

---

## Remaining Nodes (8/12)

These nodes are starting up and should be operational shortly:
- VMID 2401, 2402, 2503-2508

**Status**: 
- Services active/activating
- Configuration files in place
- `host-allowlist` added
- Missing config files created
- Waiting for full startup (Besu can take 1-2 minutes to initialize)

---

## Configuration Changes

### Host Allowlist (Correct Syntax)
```toml
host-allowlist=["*"]
```

**Note**: The correct option is `host-allowlist`, not `rpc-http-host-allowlist`.

---

## Next Steps

1. ✅ All fixes applied
2. ⏳ Wait for remaining services to fully start (1-2 minutes)
3. ⏳ Verify all 12 RPC endpoints are responding
4. ⏳ Monitor block synchronization
