Add TPM module to virtual machine​

Easy way to add TPM to virtual machine is to use Libvirt with Virt-manager

Create Virtual Machine​

After starting virt-manager create new virtual machine

Create new VM

Verify and edit hardware module list​

On the hardware configuration screen, verify list of modules and click Add Hardware button

Devices list

Add TPM module to VM​

From the list of emulated devices choose TPM module and add it to VM

Add TPM module

Finish VM configuration​

On the last screen verify once again if TPM module was added properly

Verify TPM

Add TPM emulation to bare metal machine​

During applying #!yaml MachineRegistration add following key to the yaml config:elemental:registration:emulate-tpm: true

registration-tpm.yaml
