    Note
    You can change the TPM version from 1.2 to 2.0 and back again. However, you can toggle between versions a maximum of 128 times.
    To set the TPM version to version 2.0:
    OneCli.exe config set TrustedComputingGroup.DeviceOperation "Update to TPM2.0 compliant"
               -–bmc userid:password@ip_address
    To set the TPM version to version 1.2:
    OneCli.exe config set TrustedComputingGroup.DeviceOperation "Update to TPM1.2 compliant"  
              -–bmc userid:password@ip_address
    where:

    • <userid>:<password> are the credentials used to access the BMC (Lenovo XClarity Controller interface) of your server. The default user ID is USERID, and the default password is PASSW0RD (zero, not an uppercase o)

    • <ip_address> is the IP address of the BMC.
