migrate-database

Migrate the database to a LevelDB2 database.

note

As of v21.5.0, new Teku installations use a LevelDB2 database. Previous Teku versions use RocksDB which continue to be supported.

caution

Before running the database migration, you must shut down the local Teku instance and confirm the process has fully exited and won't be restarted.
