Live migration fails because host certificates mismatch

Minimal guidance for messy support realities.

Scenario

Clustered hosts are healthy, but live migration fails after certificate renewal or host rebuild.

Recommended Resolution Path

  1. Compare host certificates, trust chains, and migration transport settings across all nodes.
  2. Check whether one host is still advertising an expired or missing certificate.
  3. Test migration between known-good pairs to isolate the bad actor.
  4. Document certificate renewal steps as part of cluster maintenance, not as an afterthought.

Technician Notes

Document what changed, what confirmed the fix, and whether the issue points to a broader standards gap worth addressing for the client.
