Step 3: Run System Test

Before field testing and deployment, run the diagnostic utility.

hsmstate

As root, type hsmstate at a command line prompt. If the unit is functioning correctly, a message is returned that includes the following:

HSM in NORMAL MODE. RESPONDING.

PSE_status

As root, you can also use the PSE_status command to verify that the HSM is functioning correctly.

This command displays the current status of the SafeNet ProtectServer Network HSM and the status and process ID (pid) of the etnetserver process. If the unit is functioning correctly, a message is retuned that includes the following:

[admin@PSe ~] PSE_status
1) HSM device 0:      HSM in NORMAL MODE.
2) etnetserver (pid 1026) is running...

PSE status NORMAL

 

psesh:> hsm state

If you logged in as admin or pseoperator, use the command hsm state to display the current status.

psesh:>hsm state
 
HSM device 0:   HSM in NORMAL MODE. RESPONDING to requests. Usage Level=0%
State = (0x8000, 0xffffffff)
Host Interface   = PSIe2
 
Command Result : 0 (Success)
 

You can also use the PSESH command status to check all the HSM's processes. For more information, see PSESH Command Reference and status.
