 This command will stop all Ganeti daemons in the cluster and start
 them again once the new certificates and keys are replicated. The
-options ``--new-cluster-certificate`` and ``--new-confd-hmac-key``
-can be used to regenerate respectively the cluster-internal SSL
-certificate and the HMAC key used by **ganeti-confd**\(8).

-The option ``--new-node-certificates`` will generate new node SSL
-certificates for all nodes. Note that the regeneration of the node
-certificates takes place after the other certificates are created
-and distributed and the ganeti daemons are restarted again.

+during a renewal of the server or the node certificates are not
+accessible anymore once they are marked as online again. To
+fix this, please readd the node instead.
 
 To generate a new self-signed RAPI certificate (used by
 **ganeti-rapi**\(8)) specify ``--new-rapi-certificate``. If you want to
