Sadanand Shenoy updated HDDS-10984:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
Although not a common scenario, but recently encountered an issue where the 
user accidentally deleted the SCM certs from the local certs dir from All SCMs.

On  restart, the primordial node self signs a new cert and starts up however 
the non-primordial members in the HA ring, request a CSR to the primordial 
node. This request doesn't go through as it requires a quorum i.e ratis needs 
to be initialized . however in order for ratis to be initialised, it needs to 
verify certs. This leads to a dead-lock like situation.
Ratis is needed for CSR (getCert) request as it persists the signed Cub ca cert 
in its rocksdb.

Like I mentioned in the beginning, this is not a common case but since we 
already persist certs in the SCM rocksdb, a tool to restore certs should be 
helpful in this case.
