Updating the Luna Backup HSM 7 v2 Firmware

To update the Luna Backup HSM 7, download the desired firmware version from the Thales Support Portal.

Use the following procedure to update the Luna Backup HSM 7 firmware using LunaCM. The Backup HSM SO must complete this procedure.

Prerequisites

>Luna Backup HSM 7 firmware update file (<filename>.fuf)

>firmware update authentication code file (<filename>.txt)

>If you have backups currently stored on the Backup HSM, they must take up less than 60% of storage capacity, or the firmware upgrade will not proceed.

To update the Luna Backup HSM 7 firmware using LunaCM

1.Copy the firmware file (<filename>.fuf) and the authentication code file (<filename>.txt) to the Luna HSM Client root directory.

Windows: C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient

Linux: /usr/safenet/lunaclient/bin

Solaris: /opt/safenet/lunaclient/bin

NOTE   On some Windows configurations, you might not have authority to copy or unzip files directly into C:\Program Files\.... If this is the case, put the files in a known location that you can reference in a LunaCM command.

2.Launch LunaCM.

3.If more than one HSM is installed, set the active slot to the Admin partition of the HSM you wish to update.

lunacm:> slot set -slot <slot_number>

4.Log in as HSM SO.

lunacm:> role login -name so

5.Apply the new firmware update by specifying the update file and the authentication code file. If the files are not located in the Luna HSM Client root directory, specify the full filepaths.

lunacm:> hsm updatefw -fuf <filename>.fuf -authcode <filename>.txt

The previous version of the firmware is stored in reserve on the HSM. To restore the previous firmware version, see Rolling Back the Luna Backup HSM 7 Firmware.

Rolling Back the Luna Backup HSM 7 Firmware

When you update the Luna Backup HSM 7 firmware, the previous version of the firmware is stored in reserve on the HSM. If required, you can use the following procedure to roll back the HSM firmware to the previous version.

CAUTION!   Firmware rollback is destructive; earlier firmware versions might have older mechanisms and security vulnerabilities that a new version does not. Ensure that you do not have any important backups stored on the HSM before you proceed. This procedure zeroizes the HSM and all backups are erased.

Prerequisites

>Connect theLuna Backup HSM 7 to a Luna HSM Client workstation.

To roll back the Luna Backup HSM 7 firmware to the previous version

1.At the LunaCM prompt, set the active slot to the Backup HSM.

lunacm:> slot set -slot <slot_number>

2.Check the previous firmware version that is available on the HSM.

lunacm:> hsm showinfo

3.Log in as HSM SO.

lunacm:> role login -name so

4.Roll back the Backup HSM firmware.

lunacm:> hsm rollbackfw
