Hi all, I am encountering a strange error when installing a fresh build of VMware ESXI 8.0.2, its a brand new server with no VM's being hosted. (Server: DL380 G10, writing to a 300GB RAID 1 array for the hypervisor) After installing, on boot we briefly see this plugin activation failure: "Jumpstart plugin restore-security-policies activation failed" (Please see image attached). Some web surfing mentions a TPM issue, but we have not been able to find anything concrete. Logs from VMware host site provides the following: 2023-11-23T05:17:16Z Wa(180) vmkwarning: 0:00:00:00.792 cpu0:1)WARNING: Elf: 3487: Ignoring undefined symbol __divti3 2023-11-23T05:17:16Z Wa(180) vmkwarning: 0:00:00:05.855 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: Helper: 1059: 13 not found 2023-11-23T05:16:46.096Z Wa(180) vmkwarning: cpu0:2097152)WARNING: VMKAcpi: 809: PCCT table defines no PCC subspaces 2023-11-23T05:16:56.092Z Wa(180) vmkwarning: cpu24:2097616)WARNING: DVX: 262: DVX heap size exceeds maximum heap size.
