TPM Required policy

The trusted platform module (TPM) Required Policy determines whether a node (or system, if the system has a single node) is allowed to boot without a functional TPM.

About this task

To change the TPM Required Policy, complete the following steps:
Note: Enabling the TPM Required Policy results in termination of a node (or a system, if only one node is active) when both of the following conditions are true:
  • No functional TPMs are available during the boot.
  • The system is in secure mode (due to a planar jumper setting).
If either of the conditions is not true, the boot operation continues. Disabling the TPM Required Policy stops the node or system termination when there are no functional TPMs. The policy does not prevent an available TPM from being used.
