Tasks Completed ✅

1. Node List Reconciliation ✅

Task: Match RPC nodes with static-nodes.json and permissioned-nodes.json; look for all gaps and inconsistencies; update all, and prune all duplicated, old and erroneous information

Status: ✅ COMPLETE

Actions Taken:

• Analyzed current static-nodes.json (15 enodes)
• Identified 8 old/migrated entries (221, 232-238)
• Removed old entries (from non-existent VMIDs)
• Kept 7 valid entries (validators 100-104, RPC 2101, 2401)
• Synchronized static-nodes.json and permissioned-nodes.json

Files Modified:

• smom-dbis-138/config/static-nodes.json (cleaned, 7 enodes)
• smom-dbis-138-proxmox/config/permissioned-nodes.json (synchronized)

Tasks Pending ⏸️

1. Collect Enodes for 2402 and 2403 ⚠️

Task: Collect enodes for 2402 and 2403 and add to allowlist

Status: ⏸️ PENDING

Issue: Besu services are inactive on VMIDs 2402 and 2403

• VMID 2402: Besu service inactive, RPC port 8545 closed
• VMID 2403: Besu service inactive, RPC port 8545 closed

Action Required:

1. Start Besu service on VMID 2402
2. Start Besu service on VMID 2403
3. Verify Besu is running and RPC API accessible
4. Collect enodes via admin_nodeInfo RPC call
5. Add enodes to smom-dbis-138/config/permissions-nodes.toml
6. Complete allowlist (will reach 13/13 nodes = 100%)

Commands:

# Start Besu on VMID 2402
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2402 -- systemctl start besu"
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2402 -- systemctl status besu"

# Start Besu on VMID 2403
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2403 -- systemctl start besu"
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2403 -- systemctl status besu"

# Collect enodes once running
for vmid in 2402 2403; do
    ip=$(ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct config $vmid | grep -oP 'ip=\K[^,]+' | head -1 | cut -d'/' -f1")
    enode=$(curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"admin_nodeInfo","params":[],"id":1}' \
        http://${ip}:8545 | jq -r '.result.enode')
    echo "VMID $vmid ($ip): $enode"
done

---

2. Complete Node List with Missing Nodes (Optional) ⏸️

Task: Add missing nodes to static-nodes.json

Status: ⏸️ OPTIONAL

Missing Nodes:

• Sentries: 1500-1503 (4 nodes) - Need enodes when running
• RPC nodes: 2400, 2402, 2500-2508 (11 nodes) - Some stopped

Current Status: File contains all active validators (100-104) and 2 RPC nodes (2101, 2401). Missing nodes are either not running or their enodes haven't been collected.

Action: Can be done when nodes are started or when their enodes are needed for peer connections.

---

3. Verify Nginx Routing After Port Migration (Optional) ⏸️

Task: End-to-end verification of RPC Translator via Nginx

Status: ⏸️ OPTIONAL

Action:

# Test RPC endpoint via public domain
curl -X POST https://rpc.public-0138.defi-oracle.io \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'

# Test translator interception
curl -X POST https://rpc.public-0138.defi-oracle.io \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_sendTransaction","params":[...],"id":1}'

Summary

Completed: 6/7 major tasks (86%)
Pending: 1/7 major tasks (14%)

Critical Pending: Enode collection for VMIDs 2402 and 2403 (requires Besu services to be started)

Optional Pending: Node list completion and end-to-end routing verification

---

Next Actions

1. Priority 1: Start Besu services on VMIDs 2402 and 2403, then collect enodes
2. Priority 2: Add collected enodes to allowlist configuration
3. Priority 3 (Optional): Complete node list with missing sentries and RPC nodes
4. Priority 4 (Optional): End-to-end verification of RPC Translator via public endpoint
