hsm updatecap

Perform an update of the HSM capabilities on the SafeNet HSM. When updatable features and capabilities are made available from SafeNet, from time to time, this command is the means to implement such features on your existing SafeNet HSM. That is, if you purchase an advanced capability upgrade, this is the command to update the HSM capability from the standard factory version.

This command, and all the lunacm hsm commands, appear only when the current slot selected in lunacm is for a local HSM, like an installed SafeNet PCI-E HSM.

HSM commands do not appear in the lunacm command menu when lunacm is directed at a slot corresponding to a remote SafeNet Network HSM - lunacm has a client-only connection to a remote HSM and therefore cannot log in as SO to a remote HSM.

For SafeNet Network HSM, the HSM commands are available via LunaSH, which can be accessed via ssh if you have the required authentication.

Syntax

hsm updatecap -cuf <capability_update_filename> -authcode <authorization_code_filename> [-force]

Parameter Shortcut Description
-cuf -u Specifies the capability update file that you want to apply.
-authcode -a Specifies the file containing the authorization code for the capability update.
-force -f Force the action without prompting.

Example

lunacm:> hsm uc -cuf 621-000100-001_RC4_G5PPSO.CUF -a G5PPSO-RC6.txt

 You are about to apply a destructive update.
 All contents of the HSM will be destroyed.
