Hi
When a domain is started with option vtpm = [ ''instance=1,
backend=0'' ] vtpm
for the domain always starts with parameter "clear", resulting in all
keystore
inaccessable because the previous SRK is lost. I could not find a way to save
the vtpm state in any way. The vtpm_manager output includes these:
TPMD[1]: tpm/tpm_startup.c:45: Info: TPM_Startup(1)
Loading NVM.
Sending LoadNVM command
ERROR[VTPM]: Failed to load NVM
.INFO[VTPM]: [VTPM Listener]: VTPM Listener waiting for messages.
Reading LoadNVM header
when I checked the code and mailing lists, this NVM is actually resides in
dom0 filesystem, namely /var/vtpm/vtpm_dm_%d.data but the vtpm_manager does
not create this when it started, nor it complains.
I am having this issue with xen versions 3.1.3-RELEASE and 3.1-testing, but
did not test with 3.2 branch.
I will also attach the vtpm_manager output.
I appologize for the cross-post.
Thank you.
Erdem Bayer
