7.0.3 ESXi Host Certificate Status

[Eudmin]

All of my ESXi 6.5.0 17477841 hosts are giving host certificate status errors after updating to vCenter Server Appliance 7.0.3. 

I confess to not updating them that often because they're on an isolated network, so they have 182 days of uptime and are missing ESXi650-202107001 and ESXi650-202107401-SG.

I saw the issue in the 7.0.3 release notes: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/rn/vsphere-vcenter-server-703-release-notes.html that says that you should delete expired certs from the BACKUP_STORE to fix that error, but I don't seem to have a BACKUP_STORE on my vCenter server.  vecs-cli store list gives a few, but not that one.

Any suggestions for how to fix this error?

I applied those updates on one host to get it to 18071574 and rebooted and don't see the cert error anymore. 

That seems to be a fix, but I'm not sure why.
