Hello,

*We have decided to remove the TPM Required Policy from the Server Power
Operations Page and move it to the Security Panel page. *
Our findings:
* TPM Required policy is rarely required to be disabled during the power
operations.
* Only in cases of troubleshooting or if a physical TPM card is not part of
the system, is when this setting needs to be disabled.
* In all other cases, it is not advisable to disable it.
* It affects the security of the host boot process.

Similarly, we shall be *adding Virtual TPM to the security page* as well,
since it’s usage is the same and it affects security of the logical
partitions boot process.

Does anyone from the community have any concerns regarding this?

Warm regards,
