Hi all,

I'm having quite an emergency here as no VMs will start in a production environment. I joined a new node to a cluster, after doing so the web interface would not start. I shut down all VMs on the original node and rebooted it and now no VMs will start at all. The error when doing "wm start VMID" is

Code:
root@node0:~# qm start 103

I haven't yet determined if this has fixed everything in my cluster, but it has fixed my inability to start a VM and also my inability to access the web interface on node0.

Code:
pvecm updatecerts
