We have enabled vTPM on the virtual machines and templates as per the manual below,
but the machine catalog creation fails with the error: "Invalid or unsupported virtual machine configuration."
Based on the current reproduction scenario, we have identified that an internal exception is occurring on the hypervisor during the "VmwareVmManager:CopyVmDisk" task.
In the stack trace, there appears to have been a possible issue related to the handling of the keyvaluepair property in the HostSideAdapter, although a definitive root cause has not yet been identified.
Since our internal logs do not indicate any encryption-specific root cause, we recommend further investigation from the hypervisor side, focusing on vCenter and ESXi logs.
Since third-party software interference is a likely cause, we recommend contacting Broadcom for further investigation from the hypervisor perspective.
You may be asked to provide the following information:
/var/log/vmware/vpxd/vpxd.log
/var/log/hostd.log
As one example, there has been a reported case where the Citrix MCS process was blocked by VMware when attempting to copy a virtual machine to new storage.
In that case, the issue was resolved by excluding the master image from Veeam's CDP (Continuous Data Protection) policy.
Machine catalog creation fails with "Invalid or unsupported virtual machine configuration" in an environment where vTPM is enabled.
