OpalMode

andrew

Does anyone know the options for using the "OPALMODE" command line optioin?  I can't seem to find it in any SafeGuard documentation.  I want to be able to force software-based encryption and prevent OPAL from locking the drive when it is encrypted.

thanks,

    Hi Andrew,

    if you want to make sure that the SafeGuard Client is using software based encryption even if an OPAL compliant hdd will be detected, use the command line parameter OPALMODE=2  (0 = default / 2 = SUPPRESS OPAL MODE) during the installation of the SafeGuard Client. 

    Example: msiexec /i sgnclient.msi OPALMODE=2    .


    A note on SafeGuard Enterprise 7: "Since version 7 of SafeGuard Enterprise / Easy no Opal checks are performed by default. 

    This means that, although an Opal drive is present, SafeGuard Enterprise will encrypt volumes on this drive via software-based encryption."


    Taken from: Knowledge Base Article 113366 SafeGuard Device Encryption: OPAL Support

    Regards,

    Chris
