vSphere 8 TPM support

[gilpena]

I have many Cisco C220 M5 servers with TPM 1.2 installed (which is unsupported with vSphere 8). The TPM chips cannot be removed. If I disable the TPM 1.2 chip in the BIOS, will the server be supported by the ESXI compatibility guide? Is there another workaround?

thanks,

Gil

If you need TPM you should be able to order UCSX-TPM2-002 to make them TPM 2.0 compliant. You mention that yours cannot be removed. Old version of hardware or something? I thought that was replaceable.
