Update Procedure

Use the following procedure to install the Luna HSM Bootloader 1.1.5 Patch:

1.Copy the firmware file (fwupdateK7_RealCert_1.1.5.fuf) and the authentication code file (fwupdateK7_RealCert_1.1.5.txt) to the Luna HSM Client root directory.

•Windows: C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient

•Linux/AIX: /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 fwupdateK7_RealCert_1.1.5.fuf -authcode fwupdateK7_RealCert_1.1.5.txt

6.[Optional] Check that the bootloader version has been updated. If you are using Luna HSM Client 10.3.0 or newer, the bootloader version is included in the information from lunacm:> hsm showinfo:
