5.3.21 Recovering the ESXi configuration information
encryption functionality
When the ESXi host is configured with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), the
ESXi configuration information is encrypted by an encryption key stored in the
TPM, and its security is strongly guaranteed.
The encrypted ESXi configuration information is decrypted at boot time by the
encryption key stored in the TPM.
PSOD occurs when ESXi is booted using a TPM that is different from the TPM
used to encrypt the ESXi.
After completing the maintenance procedure, recover the ESXi configuration
information encryption functionality.
ESXi configuration information encryption is automatically enabled when
you install or upgrade ESXi 7.0 U3 or later with TPM enabled.
When you recover the ESXi configuration information, you need the
recovery key obtained in advance.
▶ Ask the system administrator to perform the recovery procedure.
▶ Enter the recovery key and recover the ESXi configuration information
encryption functionality, at boot time.
