Updating the SafeNet Luna Network HSM Appliance Software
The SafeNet Luna Network HSM appliance software consists of the LunaSH command-line shell and its underlying software components. Use the following procedure to install the SafeNet Luna Network HSM 7.2 appliance software update.
The update package includes an image of the latest HSM firmware, which you must install to take advantage of all the new features in this release. When you install the appliance software update, the latest firmware image is stored on the appliance file system but not installed. The system can only hold one firmware version in reserve at a time.
Firmware installation is a separate procedure (see Updating the SafeNet Luna HSM Firmware).
NOTE The appliance software update is a one-way operation. You may not downgrade the appliance software once a new version is applied. The HSM firmware, however, can be rolled back to the previously-installed version
