hsm update capability

Apply a capability update. You must use scp to transfer the capability update from your Luna HSM Client workstation to the appliance before you can apply it. You can view any packages that have been transferred, but not yet installed, using the hsm update show command.

A capability update or a firmware update is meant to be applied just one time to an HSM. If you attempt to re-apply a capability update to an HSM that already has the capability installed, the system throws an error like " C0000002 : RC_GENERAL_ERROR ". A similar result occurs if you attempt to install a particular firmware update more than once on one HSM. This is expected behavior.

NOTE   The command dialog prompts for a slot on which to act. This is not currently used. Always select slot 0.
