Essential strategic capabilities for Filecoin mining: cluster architecture and operation and maintenance capabilities
This article was originally written by IPFS Force Zone


Currently, Filecoin mining is mainly carried out in clusters. The larger the cluster, the stronger the operation and maintenance capabilities are required. In order to ensure the stability and longevity of the network, Filecoin has designed a complex proof system and economic model. Once a cluster fails, it will face the risk of loss of computing power or confiscation of pledges, so operation and maintenance capabilities are crucial.


Operation and maintenance process

As the business develops, operation and maintenance gradually develops into an independent service. For Filecoin, process-based operation and maintenance can clarify the business context, improve the efficiency and stability of the cluster through optimization and upgrading, and ultimately bring about a stable growth in revenue.


Resource assessment: For the entire operation and maintenance system, the first step in the business is to evaluate the resources that can be invested at the moment, such as bandwidth, servers, etc.

Asset management: After the asset evaluation is completed, the operation and maintenance party will formulate a preliminary operation and maintenance plan, and all assets will be entered into the management. Operation and maintenance assets can be divided into hardware assets and virtual assets. For example, switches, servers, storage disks, etc. are all hardware assets, and virtual servers, IP resources, etc. are all virtual assets. At the same time, operation and maintenance engineers will use the CMDB asset management system to manage and configure all assets, so that the use of assets can be displayed at a glance.

Cluster deployment: Cluster deployment is like assembling a home computer. First install the hardware and then install the system and software. After the assets are sorted out, cluster deployment can be carried out. The deployment is mainly divided into two parts: hardware and software. Hardware deployment includes the deployment of IDC computer rooms, servers, network bandwidth, etc. The deployment of IDC computer rooms can be implemented according to standards. After the hardware IDC computer room deployment is completed, software deployment is carried out, and the program components can be run.

Operation and maintenance support: After the cluster is deployed and can operate normally, the highlight of the operation and maintenance work has just begun. Filecoin's complex proof system and economic model require the cluster to operate 24/7. The operation and maintenance of heterogeneous clusters also have higher requirements. Therefore, tool-based and process-based operation methods are more efficient for operation and maintenance engineers. The Force Zone uses its self-developed CMDB asset management system, wind beads and other monitoring tools to achieve real-time data monitoring and ensure the stable operation of the cluster. The following are some common tools for operation and maintenance support:

  • CMDB asset management system: The self-developed CMDB asset management system can integrate cluster asset information, clarify the logical relationship between hardware and software, and synchronize messages accurately and timely, so that engineers can globally control the entire cluster;



  • Data management and monitoring: monitor the data of the cluster and realize real-time monitoring of data, including the operation status of hardware, business, tasks, and services;

  • Operation and maintenance optimization: When the cluster runs stably, further optimization is performed through cluster operation status and data monitoring to improve cluster performance.


In short, forming a closed-loop cluster management, combined with the use of a series of self-developed tools, is an essential capability for operation and maintenance engineers to maintain the stable operation of Filecoin mining nodes.
