Sub Options And Arguments For tpm Option

The following table lists the sub-options and arguments for the tpm option.

Table 1. Sub-options and Arguments for the tpm Option
Option	Sub-option	Arguments	Description
`tpm`	`--tpmsecurity`	off	Does not report the presence of TPM to the operating system.
		onwithpbm	Directs the BIOS to store the TCG compliant measurements to the TPM during a POST operation.
		onwithoutpbm	Directs the BIOS to bypass the preboot measurements. Example: A:>syscfg tpm --tpmsecurity=onwithoutpbm --setuppwdoverride
	`--tpmactivation`	enabled	Enables and activates the TPM feature.
		disabled	Disables and deactivates the TPM feature.
		nochange	Does not alter the operational state of the TPM feature. Example: A:>syscfg tpm --tpmactivation=enabled --setuppwdoverride NOTE: You cannot set tpmactivation when tpmsecurity is set to off. NOTE: After setting tpmactivation to enabled or disabled, if you reboot your system, DTK displays the `TPM Configuration Honoured system will reset and the system reboots again` message and reboots. NOTE: When you set tpmactivation to enabled or disabled, DTK displays the value of tpmactivation as nochange. However, the TPM feature is activated/deactivated when you reboot the system.
	`--tpmclear`	NA	Clears the contents of the TPM chip without erasing the tpmsecurity and tpmactivation settings. Example: A:>syscfg tpm --tpmactivation=enabled --tpmclear --setuppwdoverride
	`--undotpmclear`	NA	Cancels the result of the tpmclear setting. If you specify this setting before specifying the tpmclear setting, the `There is currently no pending TPM Clear request`message is displayed. Example: A:>syscfg tpm --tpmactivation=enabled --undotpmclear --setuppwdoverride
	`--valsetuppwd`	< string>	Validates the setup password for TPM authentication. If you try to change DTK settings, you are prompted to enter this password to access the settings. For more information on delimiters, see Command Line Option Delimiters . Example: A:>syscfg tpm --tpmactivation=enabled --tpmclear --valsetuppwd=<setup_password>
	`--setuppwdoverride`	NA	On systems that do not have a setup password configured, if you set this option, you are not prompted for a password to access DTK settings. A:>syscfg tpm --tpmactivation=enabled --tpmclear --setuppwdoverride
