Update the firmware on a backup token, using a firmware update package available on the SafeNet appliance. The package must be transferred to the SafeNet appliance by scp (individually or as a component of a system update), and you must login to the backup token as Token Administrator (using the token backup login command) or SO before the token backup update firmware command is run. The command requires no package name.
The term "token" in this case refers to removable token-format HSMs connected via SafeNet DOCK 2 and USB, or SafeNet Remote Backup HSM, connected via USB.
Before you can use this command, you must:
•acquire the secure package update file from SafeNet and send the file to the SafeNet Network HSM (using scp or pscp)
Note: Use of older PuTTY versions, and related tools, can result in the appliance refusing to accept a connection. This can happen if a security update imposes restrictions on connections with older versions. To ensure compatibility, always use the versions of executable files included with the current client installer.
•open the file on the SafeNet Network HSM using the package update command.
Note: Firmware update is a local operation only, and is not supported remotely.
A capability update or a firmware update is meant to be applied just one time to an HSM. If you attempt to re-apply a capability update to an HSM that already has the capability installed, the system throws an error like " C0000002 : RC_GENERAL_ERROR ". A similar result occurs if you attempt to install a particular firmware update more than once on one HSM. This is expected behavior.
