did you add a tpm device?

A (virtual) TPM device would be needed. There are some alternatives to TPM, but they are not for production use cases: https://elemental.docs.rancher.com/authentication

In my dev vSphere environment we can’t add the TPM device (don’t have that capability in dev) so had to do the virtual work-around. It won’t bootstrap in correctly without it…
