Advisory Notes

When deciding whether to download and install the re-image patch, consider:

Patch Must be Re-applied After Luna Appliance Software Update

Updating the Luna Appliance Software overwrites the software/firmware stored for re-image back to Luna Appliance Software 7.2.0 and Luna HSM Firmware 7.0.3; you must re-apply the patch after each appliance software update if you wish to keep Luna Appliance Software 7.7.1 and Luna HSM Firmware 7.3.3 as the re-image baseline version. Other than updating the appliance software as described above, there is no way to revert the patch; the re-image version will be Luna Appliance Software 7.7.1 and Luna HSM Firmware 7.3.3 until the next update.

Appliance Re-Image Removes Security Updates Included in Newer Luna Appliance Software

While reverting to previous HSM firmware removes capabilities and features, but is generally secure, reverting to previous Luna Appliance Software versions removes security fixes and enhancements that have been included in newer versions.
