Administering Your Luna SA HSM Appliance

This section covers activities that you might perform for maintenance of your Luna SA, or to implement optional features and functions.

This section assumes that you have already installed the hardware and software and performed the Configuration procedures as described in the Configuration Guide (see the Table of Contents).

The topics and activities in this Administration guide might be optional (depending upon the version of HSM appliance that you have purchased, or upgrades that you have since installed), or they might be occasional maintenance tasks that you can look up when you need them.

We suggest that you take a look at all topics, to have an idea of what is available.

The guide is roughly divided between tasks that affect the appliance, not including the HSM itself, and tasks that pertain to management of the HSM inside the appliance. Some items might overlap both categories - where necessary, cross-references point to other related tasks and descriptions.

"Administer the Appliance (outside the HSM)"

"Administer the HSM within the appliance"
