Managing Subnetworks

This is a short guide on how to manage NeoFS subnetworks. This guide considers that the sidechain and the inner ring (alphabet nodes) have already been deployed, and the sidechain contains a deployed subnet contract.

Prerequisites

  • neo-go sidechain RPC endpoint;
  • latest released version of neofs-adm;
  • created subnetwork;
  • wallet with the account that owns the subnetwork;
  • public key of the Storage Node;
  • public keys of the node and client administrators;
  • owner IDs of the NeoFS users.

Add node administrator

Node administrators are accounts that can manage (add and delete nodes) the whitelist of the nodes which can be included to a subnetwork. Only the subnet owner is allowed to add and remove node administrators from the subnetwork.

$ neofs-adm morph subnet admin add \
    -r <side_chain_RPC_endpoint> \
    -w </path/to/owner/wallet> \
    --admin <HEX_admin_public_key> \
    --subnet <subnet_ID>
Add admin request sent successfully.

Add node

Adding a node to a subnetwork means that the node becomes able to service containers that have been created in that subnetwork. Addition only changes the list of the allowed nodes. Node is not required to be bootstrapped at the moment of its inclusion.

$ neofs-adm morph subnet node add \
    -r <side_chain_RPC_endpoint> \
    -w </path/to/node_admin/wallet> \
    --node <HEX_node_public_key> \
    --subnet <subnet_ID>
Add node request sent successfully.

NOTE: the owner of the subnetwork is also allowed to add nodes.

Add client administrator

Client administrators are accounts that can manage (add and delete nodes) the whitelist of the clients that can create containers in the subnetwork. Only the subnet owner is allowed to add and remove client administrators from the subnetwork.

$ neofs-adm morph subnet admin add \
    -r <side_chain_RPC_endpoint> \
    -w </path/to/owner/wallet> \
    --admin <HEX_admin_public_key> \
    --subnet <subnet_ID> \
    --client \
    --group <group_ID>
Add admin request sent successfully.

NOTE: you do not need to create a group explicitly, it will be created right after the first client admin is added. Group ID is a 4-byte positive integer number.

Add client

$ neofs-adm morph subnet client add \
    -r <side_chain_RPC_endpoint> \
    -w </path/to/client_admin/wallet> \
    --client <client_ownerID> \
    --subnet <subnet_ID> \
    --group <group_ID>
Add client request sent successfully.

NOTE: the owner of the subnetwork is also allowed to add clients. This is the only one command that accepts ownerID, not the public key. Administrator can manage only their group (a group where that administrator has been added by the subnet owner).

Bootstrapping Storage Node

After a subnetwork is created and a node is included into it, the node could be bootstrapped and service subnetwork containers.

For bootstrapping, you need to specify the ID of the subnetwork in the node's configuration:

...
node:
  ...
  subnet:
    entries: # list of IDs of subnets to enter in a text format of NeoFS API protocol (overrides corresponding attributes)
      - <subnetwork_ID>
  ...
...

NOTE: specifying subnetwork that is denied for the node is not an error: that configuration value would be ignored. You do not need to specify zero (with 0 ID) subnetwork: its inclusion is implicit. On the contrary, to exclude a node from the default zero subnetwork, you need to specify it explicitly:

...
node:
  ...
  subnet:
    exit_zero: true # toggle entrance to zero subnet (overrides corresponding attribute and occurrence in `entries`)
  ...
...

Creating container in non-zero subnetwork

Creating containers without using --subnet flag is equivalent to creating container in the zero subnetwork.

To create a container in a private network, your wallet must be added to the client whitelist by the client admins or the subnet owners:

$ neofs-cli container create \
    --policy 'REP 1' \
    -w </path/to/wallet> \
    -r s01.neofs.devenv:8080 \
    --subnet <subnet_ID>
