Can't Set Acceptance Level

[stevemci1]

Hello,

I'm trying to install a community-supported network driver. To do that I need to set the acceptance level to CommunitySupported. When I try to do that the command fails with a message that secure boot is enabled. I've disabled secure boot and I still get the same message. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

[root@esxi:~] esxcli software acceptance set --level=CommunitySupported

 [AcceptanceConfigError]

 Secure Boot enabled: Cannot change acceptance level to community.

 Please refer to the log file for more details.

[root@esxi:~] esxcli system settings encryption get

   Mode: NONE

   Require Executables Only From Installed VIBs: false

   Require Secure Boot: false

Even I am facing the same issue any suggestions? Is the BIOS secure boot enabled that needs to be disabled? Are both BIOS secure boot and ESXi Secure boot the same?

Hi,

 Have you changed the acceptance level through GUI

 Login to ESXi web client then go to "manage >> security & users >> Acceptance Level"  and change the required Acceptance level you want.
