Issue/Introduction

When a host is encrypted with TPM, the coredumps are encrypted as well.

Environment

VMware vSphere ESXi 7.x
VMware vSphere ESXi 8.x

Resolution

When collecting host logs, do so from vCenter and be certain to set a password in the wizard.

This password will then need to be provided to VMware TSE to be decoded after upload.
