lunash:> hsm login
5.[Optional Step] Verify that the secure package file is present on the Luna Network HSM 7.
lunash:> package listfile
6. [Optional Step] Verify the package file, specifying the authorization code you received from Thales.
lunash:> package verify lunasa_update_bootloader-1.1.5.spkg -authcode <code_string>
7.Install the update on the Luna Network HSM 7.

The bootloader update package is now stored in reserve on the appliance, waiting to be installed.
8.[Optional] After installing the update, you can check to see that the update is ready to install. It is reported as firmware version 7.8.1, but only the bootloader 1.1.5 update is actually included.
lunash:> hsm firmware show
Upgrade Firmware: 7.8.1
9.Update the bootloader to version 1.1.5.
lunash:> hsm firmware upgrade

lunash:> hsm show
Bootloader: 1.1.5
If you are using appliance software older than Luna Appliance Software 7.7.0, you can confirm that the update was successful by checking the recent system logs:
lunash:> syslog tail -logname messages -entries 1000 -search Loader

Advisory Notes
This section highlights important issues you should be aware of before installing the Luna HSM Bootloader 1.1.5 Patch.
Patch Overwrites the Firmware Update Version Stored on the HSM
If you previously updated the appliance software, but did not update the HSM firmware to the version included with that secure package (use lunash:> hsm firmware show to check if there is a firmware version available for update), that reserve firmware version will be overwritten by the Luna HSM Bootloader 1.1.5 Patch. You will be unable to update the firmware until after the next appliance software update.
Firmware Cannot Be Rolled Back After Installing the Patch
After installing the bootloader update package, you cannot roll back to the previous firmware version.
