Hi, Faraz,

Sorry, you can’t use S/W TPM for Intel Trusted Execution Technology/Trusted Boot(tboot). Since TXT/tboot requires H/W TPM on bare metal host in the pre-OS phase. You need to use an Intel TXT capable system, and make TXT enabled.

Thanks
Jimmy

Can I use software based TPM for Trusted boot. I have configured IBM's software TPM. and I need some guidance , the documentation for the trusted boot openstack says that compute node must have Intel Trusted Technology enabled.

Please guide in this regard.

Regards,
Faraz
