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. For instructions on how to disable SIP, see http://www.dell.com/
support/Article/us/en/19/SLN299063.
Technical Advisories v8.6
No technical advisories exist.
Technical Advisories v8.4.0.6247
● Recovery of a FileVault-encrypted volume on Mac OS X Mavericks and later requires that Apple's procedure is followed
to create and deploy recovery keys before FileVault is enabled on client computers. For more information, see http://
support.apple.com/kb/HT5077?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. [DDPMS-249]
● With FileVault encryption through the Encryption client on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 with an internal Apple SSD, the Security
& Privacy - FileVault Tab may not display optimization progress although the Encryption client System Volumes Tab does
display progress. To verify that optimization is in progress, enter the following command:
diskutil cs list
Technical Advisories v8.1.3
● Amended 03/2014 - Since clients that encrypt using proprietary FDE will not function with hibernation enabled, Dell Data
Protection turns off hibernation prior to encrypting the system drive. Starting with the Encryption client for Mac v8.1.1, the
original hibernation setting is restored when the drive is decrypted, but the initial setting was not persisted in versions prior
to v8.1.1. If this setting was turned off by a client prior to v8.1.1, Dell Data Protection cannot restore the setting when it
decrypts the drive. [DDPMS-83, 14942]
Technical Advisories v8.1
● It has been observed on some Mac computers that setting the Workstation Scan Priority policy to Normal increases boot
time. To work around this issue change the Workstation Scan Priority policy to Highest. [4585203]
Technical Advisories v8.0
● There are no Technical Advisories to report.
Technical Advisories v7.7
● Recovering a multi-volume system encrypted by FDE for Mac, requires that all encrypted volumes be recovered at the same
time. [26056]
● When running v7.7 and Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, ejecting EMS-provisioned external media without safely ejecting it causes
kernel panic and possible loss of data. EMS-provisioned external media must be safely ejected to allow the EMS processes to
complete. [26026]
