Cause
ESXi 主机有一个设置 VMKernel.Boot.execInstalledOnly 设置为 true。
此设置可防止 kdriver vib 使用实时安装正确安装。
RecoverPoint 拆分器无法使用 VMKernel.Boot.execInstalledOnly 设置为 true。
Resolution
步骤:
- 在 ESXi 主机上,将
VMKernel.Boot.execInstalledOnly设置为 false。
- 运行以下 ESXCLI 命令:
esxcli system settings encryption set --require-exec-installed-only=F
- 验证更改:
esxcli system settings encryption get Mode: TPM Require Executables Only From Installed VIBs: false Require Secure Boot: true
确认 Require Executables Only From Installed VIB显示 false。
- 要保存设置,请运行以下命令:
/sbin/auto-backup.sh
TPM 不再强制执行
execInstalledOnly 引导选项。
- 提醒:有时,通过从上面的 CLI 步骤中检查该值,将其设置为 false。但是,在 vSphere UI 中,以下字段中的值设置为 true ,还必须从 UI 修改该值。

- 重新引导ESXi主机。
- 运行
vib再次安装。

Additional Information
当客户运行 STIG 强化过程时,此问题还可能会影响正常工作的 RecoverPoint 系统。
该过程设置默认 STIG 值,从而更改参数 VMKernel.Boot.execInstalledOnly = True.
此过程会更改 ESXi 配置,但在下次重新启动或升级期间应用。这可能会导致 VxRail 升级问题,因为升级后的主机无法运行 RecoverPoint for VM 保护的虚拟机。
