"Now Friends",
As an IT Pro, I have found 1 thing to be true, 99.9% of the time and that is "you are rarely ever the first to encounter a given issue". I cannot find any evidence to make that statement true in this case... Maybe someone here is better at Google than I?
I have Dell PowerEdge R630 and R640 servers that I have purchased TPM chips for in preparation for upgrade to ESXi 6.7. I am currently running 6.5 U2. I have read the documentation titled "Securing ESXi Hosts with Trusted Platform Module" and under the requirements section, ESXi 6.7 is explicitly listed. The question though is, What will happen if a TPM chip is installed in an existing ESXi host? Will it no longer boot properly? Will vCSA recognize it as the Jones that it knows or will it see the host as an all new Jones? (That was a joke... See initial link if you are lost)
I opened a case with Dell Support on this matter and I was told that they do not have documentation to reference for a scenario such as this. I have also opened a medium severity case with VMware GSS but I have not yet received a call back.
