Issue/Introduction
Starting with vSphere 7.0 U2, all ESXi hosts that have a TPM 2.0 enabled device will start using TPM to encrypt the host configuration.
It’s possible that the host may not be able to complete booting due to host configuration encryption-related problems, see Boot time failures due to ESX configuration encryption. In such cases, the host’s configuration may be restored by going through the configuration recovery process.
