This means that the next time your certificates renew the intermediate certificate will automatically be also updated and you should have no problems. For the vast majority of node operators this will be the solution.
You can stop here unless you are already receiving the error message "unable to verify the first certificate".
All nodes that are ALREADY receiving the error message "unable to verify the first certificate", please use the following procedure:
Add the new intermediate certificate to the certificate store:
