Comment on ICYMI, Unraid now supports internal boot and TPM licensing

I had to get a Supermicro AOM-TPM-9665V TPM chip for my motherboard
How old is your CPU that it doesn’t have onboard TPM? It’s been a standard feature for quite a while now
My Epyc 7702 does have onboard TPM, but my supermicro H11DSi-NT doesn’t pass it through to the OS, for some reason. It seems like it’s a common thing for supermicro boards - the enterprise ones like mine have TPM headers instead. I do wish that weren’t the case, though.
On my second Unraid server (which I use for transcoding), the i9-12900T’s TPM does pass through properly and I was able to use it, no external TPM needed.

Huh… That’s interesting. At my workplace we have Linux EPYC servers with working TPM (it’s mandated that all computers, both clients and servers, must have TPM 2.0), but I’m not a hardware person and don’t know exactly how they’re configured.
Yeah, I’m guessing it’s a Supermicro thing for sure, and maybe they’ve changed that now that TPM is completely commonplace, because my Epyc does support TPM, 100%.
