Applying an Upgrade License on the HSM

The license string file you downloaded from the GLP (see Activating a License on the Thales Group Licensing Portal) is used to apply your HSM upgrade. The HSM Security Officer must complete this procedure.

Prerequisites

>Ensure that you have the license string file that is registered to the correct HSM serial number.

>If you are installing partition upgrades, ensure that you have space available on the HSM. By default, partitions are created at a size that will utilize the entire HSM space based on the number of partition licenses at the time. If your existing partitions use all available space on the HSM, the new license application may fail with an error (LUNA_RET_RM_CONFIG_CHANGE_FAILS_DEPENDENCIES). To prevent this, reclaim space on the HSM by resizing the existing partitions (see Customizing Partition Sizes) before you apply the upgrade license.

To apply an upgrade license on the HSM

1.Open a command prompt, navigate to the directory containing the license string file, and use scp/pscp to transfer it to an admin-level account on the SafeNet Luna Network HSM appliance (see SCP and PSCP).

•Windows: pscp [options] <license_file> admin@<host/IP>:

•Linux/UNIX: scp [options] <license_file> admin@<host/IP>:

2.Connect to the appliance via SSH or a serial connection, and log in to LunaSH using the admin-level account that received the file (see Logging In to LunaSH).

3.Log in as HSM SO (see Logging In as HSM Security Officer).

lunash:> hsm login

4.[Optional] Confirm that the HSM fingerprint matches the one in the license string. If this string does not match, the upgrade will not be applied.

lunash:> sysconf fingerprint license

5.Apply the upgrade to the HSM.
