hsm updatefw

Update the firmware on the SafeNet HSM.

Note:  LunaCM performs an automatic restart following a firmware update.

Note:  The lunacm hsm commands appear only when the current slot selected in lunacm is for a locally-installed HSM, such as a SafeNet PCI-E HSM. When lunacm is directed at a slot corresponding to a remote SafeNet Network HSM, the hsm-level commands do not appear, since lunacm has a client-only connection to a remote HSM and therefore cannot log in as SO to a remote HSM. To access HSM commands on the SafeNet Network HSM appliance, you must use the LunaSH.

Note:  For PED-authenticated HSMs, you must disable SRK before you can update the firmware. Use the srk show command to determine whether SRK is enabled on your HSM. If it is, the first line of the output of the srk show command reads Secure Transport Functionality is supported and enabled. If this is the case, run the srk disablecommand to disable SRK on the HSM. You must have the appropriate purple PED Key to disable SRK. If you attempt to update the firmware update while SRK is enabled, the system responds with an error: 0x80000030 (CKR_OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED).
