starting node with ibft consensus problem : Fatal: Consensus not specified. Exiting!!

[mariemfourati]

Hi,

I have followed this tutoriel to build my quorum blockchain with ibft consensus : https://docs.goquorum.consensys.io/tutorials/private-network/create-ibft-network
but it wasn't successful .

System information

Geth version: 1.10.3-stable(quorum-v24.4.1)
OS & Version: Linux ubuntu 20.04

Steps

I created all the environemnt: the folders, genesis.json with quorum-genesis-tool : npx quorum-genesis-tool --consensus ibft --chainID 254 --blockperiod 5 --requestTimeout 10 --epochLength 30000 --difficulty 1 --gasLimit '0xFFFFFF' --coinbase '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000' --validators 5 --members 0 --bootnodes 0 --outputPath 'artifacts'

Also I set up the static-nodes.json

then I run : geth --datadir data init data/genesis.json and it worked

When starting the node 0 with :
geth --datadir data --networkid 254 --nodiscover --verbosity 5 --syncmode full --istanbul.blockperiod 5 --mine --miner.threads 1 --miner.gasprice 0 --emitcheckpoints --http --http.addr 127.0.0.1 --http.port 22000 --http.corsdomain "*" --http.vhosts "*" --ws --ws.addr 127.0.0.1 --ws.port 32000 --ws.origins "*" --http.api admin,eth,debug,miner,net,txpool,personal,web3,istanbul --ws.api admin,eth,debug,miner,net,txpool,personal,web3,istanbul --unlock ${ADDRESS} --allow-insecure-unlock --password ./data/keystore/accountPassword --port 30300

i get this error :

I found some suggestions to remove istanbul from the --http.api and --ws.api but always Fatal: Consensus not specified. Exiting!
