Hello, since I updated to PVE 9 I am encountering these recurring errors in my System Log

Server EDGE

Code:
16:36:59 edge pveproxy[2123204]: '/etc/pve/nodes/void/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist!
16:36:59 edge pveproxy[2125692]: proxy detected vanished client connection
16:44:29 edge pveproxy[2123204]: '/etc/pve/nodes/dream/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist!
16:44:39 edge pveproxy[2125692]: proxy detected vanished client connection

Server VOID

Code:
16:36:00 void pveproxy[301465]: '/etc/pve/nodes/edge/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist!
16:36:10 void pveproxy[301465]: proxy detected vanished client connection
16:36:10 void pveproxy[301465]: '/etc/pve/nodes/dream/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist!
16:36:20 void pveproxy[301465]: proxy detected vanished client connection

Server DREAM

Code:
16:35:57 dream pveproxy[416060]: '/etc/pve/nodes/edge/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist!
16:35:57 dream pveproxy[411809]: proxy detected vanished client connection
16:36:07 dream pveproxy[427145]: '/etc/pve/nodes/void/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist!
16:36:17 dream pveproxy[411809]: proxy detected vanished client connection

I have 3 servers with Proxmox on the local network but I do NOT have a cluster, I have never configured it nor do I intend to. The strange thing is that on each server I find these messages referencing the others, even recognizing the name of each host.

I've reinstalled all three servers with PVE 9, and they continue with this behavior; none of them have any references to the others.

Thank you in advance.
 
Hi,
on each node, what is the output of:
Code:
ls -l /etc/pve/nodes
cat /etc/pve/.members
pvecm status
systemctl status pve-cluster.service
?

It's a very strange thing because none of them are part of a cluster nor have they ever been
