Register with new PoS node data and set the register data in POS_REGIST_DATA of the env files.
node bin/pool.js registerPool
Note:
- If you want to get new register data without changing the PoS node, please stop the node, delete
pos_config/pos_keyandpos_db/secure_storage.jsonfiles, and restart the node. New register data will be generated without changing node. - To properly close the node, please refer to ‘How to avoid forceRetire of node’

./conflux rpc local pos register --power 1 - Administers can withdraw the ‘1 vote’ used for the original registration and use it in the new register.
