Blancco Drive Eraser can be booted and used without a display adapter, but it must be remotely controlled via an on-premise Blancco Management Console.
The following requirements must be met:
- The process has to be set as "Manual".
- Default erasure process, this can also be configured via the Drive Eraser Configuration Tool (DECT).
- The Blancco Drive Eraser image has to be remotely controlled via the Blancco Management Console and the correct communication settings have to be in place.
- This can be configured via the DECT by setting the option Process control to 'Blancco Management Console remote' under the Process -tab and having the correct settings pointing to your on-premise Management Console under the Communication -tab.
- If the communication settings are not correct, Blancco Drive Eraser will run, but it will not be able to receive any orders from the BMC.
- BMC can start the erasure remotely, monitor it and fetch the erasure report in the end.
- Any other configuration will result in a non-functional Blancco Drive Eraser image.
- This can be configured via the DECT by setting the option Process control to 'Blancco Management Console remote' under the Process -tab and having the correct settings pointing to your on-premise Management Console under the Communication -tab.
