HW TPM passthrough

bkpat

Hello,
I can't find any answer to my question: is it possible to passthrough a HW TPM module.
If yes, how can I do that?

I need this for virtualising a Linux PKI management station. A vTPM is not an option for me.

Thanks in advance for your reply.
BK.

Hi,

Sadly, it's not possible, because a TPM isn't a PCIe device. You would have to use a vTPM, or a bare metal machine to do this.

@olivierlambert OK. I was guessing something like that.
Many thanks for your answer.
Best regards,
BK
