ESXi Host and VM Secure Boot Visibility with VCF Operations

I was trying to determine what ESXi Hosts and VMs in my lab had Secure Boot enabled, here's what I did.

A couple caveats before we get started:

• ESXi Host Secure Boot property isn't available in Operations 8.18.x, it's not available until 9.0. You should confirm it's enabled in the Policy/s.

• VM EFI Secure Boot property is available in VCF Operations 8.18.x+, but must be enabled in the Policy/s.

• ESXi Host TPM Version isn't available until VCF Operations 9.0, so you won't see that property until then.

• I used the vCommunity Management Pack to capture additional properties: VM Boot Delay, Boot Order, Boot Retry, Boot Retry Delay, Enter BIOS Setup.

This will allow you to see quite a bit of information:

• ESXi Hosts

  • ESXi Version

  • BIOS Version

  • TPM Version

  • Secure Boot Enabled

  • Lockdown Mode

• VMs

  • VM Hardware Version

  • EFI Secure Boot Enabled

  • Boot Delay

  • Boot Order

  • Boot Retry Enabled

  • Boot Retry Detail

  • Enter BIOS Setup

  • Network Boot Protocol
