Has anybody used the OpalReqCheckn command-line utility?

Output from running this tool shows the following:

Usage: opalreqcheckn.exe <TargetDevice> [IGNORE_OPAL_AUTHORITYCHECK_RESULTS]
<TargetDevice> DeviceName in Global name space e.g. PhysicalDrive0
IGNORE_OPAL_AUTHORITYCHECK_RESULTS same effect as the the SGN install pa
rameter

So how do I find the DeviceName of the hard drive? Where is the "Global name space"? I've asked Sophos support for documentation on this tool, and there's been no response.

Hi Andy,
try "opalreqcheckn.exe PhysicalDrive0"
or "opalreqcheckn.exe PhysicalDrive0 IGNORE_OPAL_AUTHORITYCHECK_RESULTS" if you want to ignore the authority check.
