Previous Technical Advisories This section includes previous Technical Advisories for the Encryption client v7.7 - v8.11. Depending on the Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise deployment and operating systems of client computers, some issues are not applicable. Technical Advisories v8.7 ● Dell Encryption is not supported with System Integrity Protection (SIP), which Apple has introduced in Mac OS X El Capitan v10.11.0. To use Dell Encryption, SIP must be disabled.
● Hard drives with 4k block size (standard block size is 512 bytes) are not supported on Mac OS X Snow Leopard or earlier, due to a defect in the OS partition resize command. This defect has been fixed in Mac OS X Lion and later. [24726] ● Using Mac OS X Lion (32- or 64-bit/Standard or Admin User) and performing a copy operation of a large number of files (about 2000 in our tests) via Finder using EMS Service causes Finder to crash.
2 Workarounds Before you begin, be aware of the following workarounds that have been identified during testing. ● Modifying the system RAM configuration will invalidate the security protection profile of an encrypted volume. This will prevent the computer from booting on the following restart. To validate the new configuration and restore the bootability of the encrypted system volume, apply the Accept new system configuration operation in the Dell Recovery Utility. See the Online Help for instructions.
