[ovirt-users] Re: Export to Data Domain (with TPM)
Milan thanks for the info, I suspected as much.
Yes it's a Windows 11 VM, so TPM is locked in the on position while Windows 11 OS
selected.
I'll keep an eye on the bug and see if I can work around it for now.
I suspect it will be problem if using the TPM for something like bitlocker, potentially
losing the TPM data will mean having to enter the decryption key manually at boot and
re-provision the TPM on restore.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply and filing a bug.
Chris.

Anyone explain why I can't export a Virtual Machine with a TPM?
Is
this something to do with the TPM data? I'm exporting the VM to some
cold storage. What's the deal here how can I export it and keep the
TPM data or do I have to disable TPM on it first?

Hi,
it is a Windows VM, right? It is a bug, I filed
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/issues/702 . The export should work.
A workaround could be temporarily switching the VM operating system in the VM properties
to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 before exporting but I'm not sure it won't change
some other VM properties, be careful if you attempt it.
