Upgrading the BIG-IP software when using the SafeNet Luna HSM
After a BIG-IP® system software or hotfix upgrade, you do not need to run the SafeNet Luna SA client setup script. Any local keys and certificates you added to the BIG-IP system configuration before upgrading (using the command tmsh install sys crypto) appear in the upgrade partition and can be used. Keys, certificates, and CSRs created using tmsh are already part of the BIG-IP system configuration and can be used.
Note: If you will need keys, certificates, or
CSRs that were not added to the BIG-IP system configuration, before you upgrade,
copy the files into the /shared directory. After the upgrade,
copy them back to their appropriate directories in the new partition:
/config/ssl/ssl.key/,
/config/ssl/ssl.crt, or
/config/ssl/ssl.csr.
Uninstalling SafeNet Luna SA components from the BIG-IP system
If you no longer need to use the SafeNet Luna SA HSM on a BIG-IP® system, you should uninstall the files.
nethsm-safenet-install.sh utility options
The nethsm-safenet-install.sh utility includes these options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -f | Reinstalls when a connection with HSM already exists. |
| -h | Displays help. |
| -u | Uninstalls SafeNet software and cleans up SafeNet directories. |
| -v | Prints verbose output about the executing operations. |
| --hsm_ip_addr=<ip_addr> | SafeNet Luna SA HSM IP address(es). For multiple HSMs, use a double-quoted value with space-separated IP addresses (such as --hsm_ip_addr="10.10.10.100.10.10.10.101"). |
| --hsm_partition_pwd=<password> | SafeNet HSM partition password. This password must be the same for all HSMs being used in High Availability (HA) configurations. |
| --hsm_username=<user_name> | SafeNet Luna SA HSM user name. Default is admin. |
