vCF 5, edge redeploy, password management failing

Hi there,

Working with vCF 5 and needed to redeploy 2-failed edge nodes previously deployed with vCF/SDDC Manager. Upon remediation of the password, logs are pointing to:

Unable to create jsch CLI session:
com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: HostKey has been changed:
Could not connect to the SSH server @ xxx
m.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: HostKey has been changed:

I've noticed in the operationsmanager.log that the keys are different, as they should be. Though, I cannot find a method to update the KeySpec with vCF/SDDC Manager. Anyone know of a way to update the KeySpec, would this be a postgres edit?

I have checked the known_hosts under /home/vcf/.ssh/known_hosts and removed previous key information.
I have successfully ssh'ed from vCF to the ESG.

Note: This is only for the admin/audit accounts, root shows valid (not disconnected).
