Effect in production Volume\Datastore of an expired digital certificate used for a Vserver

Hi Experts,

I'm about to renew one of the expired certificate for my vserver. And I need to know if there will be an impact of deleting and creating a new certificate since my SVM are consist of multiple production volumes / datastore ? Please advise. Is this going to be uninterrupted? Thanks!

Hi,

An SVM certificate is not used by their clients to access data. So you are good renewing it, recreating and etc... you can see that even expired, that's not an issue.
