Hi Spiro!

According to this thread these messages do not pose any threat to your system, they "just should not happen".

Still, if you follow the link that Dominic suggested, it seems somebody else was able to resolve this by running pvecm updatecerts.
Hello thanks for your reply. I do not have a cluster though ? If I am correct ( which I could be wrong) is pvecm only if you have a cluster ? Not just 1 node ? Could it be just pve updatecerts then ?
 
Nope. Pve updatecerts not working is not a correct command.

I did pvecm updatecerts
How to check if it’s still a warning ?

Thanks
 
How to check if it’s still a warning ?
Well due to the problem being rather elusive, I'm not sure whether there is a direct way of testing this. I guess all you can do for now is to wait and see, and occasionally check the logs...
