Problem with TCG Enterprise #290

Open milan-susa opened 5 years ago

milan-susa commented 5 years ago

I have a problem, with a disc "Seagate Exos 7E8 ST4000NM0045". The problem occurs with the command "sedutil-cli --initialsetup debug /dev/sda" output on "Pic1". When I start the scan command, I get the output on "Pic2". Also with the command --setmbrdone off debug /dev/sda I get a output "Pic3". Does anyone know how I can encrypt the TCG Enterprice hard disk drive? Thanks in advance

Hi, Have you managed to fix the problem? Do you still use sedutils? Is there any other more active repo to tust on? Regards,

It's not clear why you consider this a problem. MBRDone doesn't make sense for TCG Enterprise drives and thus not needed. --initialsetup is only a convenience shortcut for Opal drives that issues all required commands in one go. Either ignore the errors about MBR shadowing or provision the drive using only the relevant steps.

The state or absence of MBR shadowing doesn't affect the encryption in any way. You only need to setup a locking range and then lock/unlock it – assuming sedutil can really handle this for your model of TCG Enterprise drive.

did you manage to resolve the issue?

youk commented 7 months ago

What issue are you referring to? As concerns what was reported, it's just misunderstanding of the technology.

My mistake, I thought there was a procedure to enable MBR shadowing. I've read the specifications of TCG Enterprise and basically MBR shadowing is not a feature. Thanks :)
