This command rolls back (downgrades) the HSM firmware to the previously installed version. You do not need to obtain the previously installed version - it was automatically saved to a special rollback holding area when you used the command hsm firmware upgrade.
Note: This command is intended primarily for SafeNet internal use (for example, for automated testing). It is recommended that you use this command only when instructed to do so by SafeNet technical support. The HSM capabilities and performance following a firmware rollback are uncertain.
CAUTION: This command is considered destructive, because an earlier firmware version can have fewer or older mechanisms and might have security vulnerabilities that a newer version does not. Therefore, the HSM requires that the SO be logged in to perform the hsm firmware rollback operation.
After rollback is complete, the command hsm show indicates that you cannot rollback from the rolled-back firmware.
If you wish to reassert the newer firmware that was in the HSM before you rolled back, then use command hsm firmware upgrade, to [re-]upgrade to the newer firmware version. That version remains on standby in the appliance, so there is no need to re-upload or to re-install appliance software.
