Drive Eraser 6.5.1 - Release notes

Features:

  • ALBUS-5480 - Advanced report mode for reporting self-monitoring attributes from drives.
    • The Report-step has an Advanced mode where the drives' self-monitoring attributes (SMART data) are displayed (both in the UI and in the corresponding PDF report).
    • This will allow a better drive grading before/after the erasure takes place. For SATA/SCSI/SAS drives.

Bug fixes/Improvements:

  • ALBUS-5480 - Advanced report mode for reporting self-monitoring attributes from drives.
    • The Report-step has an Advanced mode where the drives' self-monitoring attributes (SMART data) are displayed (both in the UI and in the corresponding PDF report).
    • This will allow a better drive grading before/after the erasure takes place. For SATA/SCSI/SAS drives.
  • ALBUS-5802 - The hardware appliance could not boot after erasing faulty FC drives.
    • Reproduced on an E800 appliance. The internal preferences were corrupted.
  • ALBUS-5707 - The software crashed in Automatic process and continued in Manual process.
    • The root cause was identified and fixed under ALBUS-5796.
  • ALBUS-5796 - Continuing the improvements of the internal XML communication between the BDE UI, its back-end and the BMC. This results in an overall more stable software.
    • These improvements should potentially fix two other tickets (ALBUS-5499 and ALBUS-5727).
  • ALBUS-5817 - Sending a report to Management Console 4.7.0 (or the latest Blancco Cloud) failed consistently.
    • Importing a saved XML report into the Management Console 4.6.1 and 4.7.0 failed consistently.
    • This occurs with BDE 6.5.0 only.
  • ALBUS-5821 - Improving the detection and reporting of the screen resolution on Portable, Notebook, Hand Held, All In One and Sub Notebook machines.
  • ALBUS-5592 - HP zBook 15 G3 could not be booted with BDE 6.4.0 or lower.
    • Also fixed in 6.5.0. Booting BDE with "Normal startup (safe resolution)" works and the machine can be erased.
  • ALBUS-5631 - SAS drives were detected as SPI (Seagate drives behind a LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS controller).
    • Also fixed in 6.5.0.
  • ALBUS-5815 - The UI showed a popup offering an update on some Blancco hardware appliances. Unwanted behavior.
    • As a general note, do not attempt to update the UI (the correct way to update it is to reinstall the appliance).
  • ALBUS-5810 - Improving the SMART detection and reporting, fetching additional Log Pages from SCSI-based drives.
  • ALBUS-3484 - Adding pages on the PDF report.
  • ALBUS-5197, ALBUS-5837 - Small UI fixes (user manual fonts, string localization).
