Hi,
Hope someone may have run in to this problem before and maybe able to help.
We have a customer that needs to boot with Secure Boot enabled. All works fine apart from the ability to run a simple script at startup.
All the script does is load the ipmi_si_drv and ipmi_devintf drivers as for some reason these don't get loaded normally at start up.
So we added the 2 lines to /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh, which works fine in legacy mode, but doesn't get run if Secure Boot is enabled. This is a design feature as you don't want to be running
unverified software/commands.
So my questions are:-
1) Does anyone know how I could get around this without creating our own .vib that would would need signing by VMware, as this is changing system file (/etc/rc.local) that at Community Supported Level, is not covered? From what I understand VIB author is deprecated.
or ideally
2) Know why ipmi_si_drv and ipmi_devintf aren't loaded at boot time even though ipmiEnabled is set to TRUE?
Many thanks in advance.
BR,
Chris
