Hi i'd like to install windows 11 on kvm.

I have tpm enabled on my system. ubuntu 21.04 (qemu 5.2+dfsg-9ubuntu3.1)

ls -ls /dev/tpm*

0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root  10,   224 Sep 25 18:18 /dev/tpm0
0 crw-rw-rw- 1 tss  tss  253, 65536 Sep 25 18:18 /dev/tpmrm0

the w11 xml file contains the passthrough code:

<tpm model="tpm-tis">
  <backend type="passthrough">
    <device path="/dev/tpm0"/>
  </backend>
</tpm>

When starting the vm I get the following error:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2021-09-26T06:28:55.041197Z qemu-system-x86_64: -tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm-tpm0,path=/dev/fdset/3,cancel-path=/dev/fdset/4: '/dev/fdset/3' is not a TPM device.'

Any ideas how to properly pass the tpm to the vm.

Thanks

Solution 1:

I have run into the same error.

I refered the next web page and found the Apparmor makes this problem.

I added /dev/tpm0 rw in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu and restarted apparmor. The error dialog will not show.

I hope this make some help.
