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 7.4 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 cannot be rolled back directly. You can re-image to a predetermined configuration and then update to a desired appliance software version [see Re-Imaging the Appliance to Factory Baseline ]. The HSM firmware, however, can be rolled back to the previously-installed version (see Rolling Back the SafeNet Luna HSM Firmware).
To update the appliance software and firmware, you must transfer and apply a secure package file to the SafeNet Luna Network HSM. You require:
>SafeNet Luna Network HSM 7.4 appliance software update package file (<filename>.spkg)
>the secure package authentication code, provided in a text file accompanying the update package
