Updating the SafeNet Luna Backup HSM Firmware

To update the firmware on a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM, use LunaCM on a client computer that is connected to the SafeNet Luna Backup HSM. You require:

>SafeNet Luna Backup HSM firmware update file (<filename>.fuf)

>the firmware update authentication code file(s) (<filename>.txt)

CAUTION!   Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to power your HSM. There is a small chance that a power failure during an update could leave your HSM in an unrecoverable condition.

To update the SafeNet Luna Backup HSM firmware

1.Copy the firmware file (<filename>.fuf) and the authentication code file (<filename>.txt) to the SafeNet Luna HSM Client root directory.

•Windows: C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient

•Linux: /usr/safenet/lunaclient/bin

•Solaris: /opt/safenet/lunaclient/bin

NOTE   On some Windows configurations, you might not have authority to copy or unzip files directly into C:\Program Files\.... If this is the case, put the files in a known location that you can reference in a LunaCM command.

2.Launch LunaCM.

3.If more than one HSM is installed, set the active slot to the Admin partition of the HSM you wish to update.

lunacm:> slot set -slot <slot_number>

4.Log in as HSM SO (role login).

lunacm:> role login -name so

5.Apply the new firmware update by specifying the update file and the file containing the authorization code. If the files are not located in the SafeNet Luna Network HSM Client directory, specify the filepaths.

lunacm:> hsm updatefw -fuf <filename>.fuf -authcode <filename>.txt
