Did you compile the TPM backend driver? If you compile it as a module do 
'modprobe tpmbk' before you start the vtpm_managerd. Also you have to have the 
driver for your hardware TPM in the kernel before you start it. Both /dev/vtpm 
and /dev/tpm0 have to be there

Once you modprobed tpm_xenu, is /dev/tpm0 available? 

Did you start you user domain with a running vtpm_managerd and the 'vtpm = ...' 
line in the vm config file? 

    
    ---------> When I modprobe the tpm_xenu, it creates a tpm0 device. But till 
now I could not start the vtpm_managerd and therefore this may be deceptive.

Thanks Stefan...
