Hello guys,
My name is Tiago Al-Alam and I’m an administrator at Archimedes Staking Pool - archpool.io.
I am preparing the infrastructure to participate in the second phase of the incentivated testnet.
Please, isvEnclaveQuoteStatus = CONFIGURATION_AND_SW_HARDENING_NEEDED status is acceptable?
My server is displaying this status after updating bios that Dell made available on July 13th.
Thanks!!
No, this is not acceptable even for the testnet.
Did you verify you have the latest BIOS for you HW?
Did you install the latest microcode for you CPU?
Hello Tiago and welcome 
What enclave do you attest when you get this status?
Hello assafmo and toml, thanks for reply.
Yes, updated bios (released 07/13/2020), and microcode too. I still couldn’t solve the problem, I sent them a message via chat.
Thank you!
Hi, I’m getting the same response when trying to run some other application. Also Dell computer (G3 3500 laptop), already updated BIOS but I can’t get around this problem. Would be great to hear if you managed to find a solution.
Is that certain? Isn’t only SGX support needed? I have i7-10750H and it passes other tests except this isvEnclaveQuoteStatus. As I’m reading here it could be related to processor vulnerability fixes and hence BIOS update. The problem is I applied the latest update from Dell from December but it doesn’t fix this issue.
