System testing
Before field test and deployment we recommend that you run the diagnostic utility
hsmstate to ensure that the unit is functioning correctly. To do this type hsmstate at a
command line prompt.
If the unit is functioning correctly a message that includes the following is returned:
NORMAL MODE. RESPONDING.
You can also use the PSE_status command to verify that the PSE2 is functioning
correctly, as described below.
The PSE_status command
Syntax
PSE_status
Description
This utility displays the current status of the Protect Server External 2 (PSE2). It
provides the following information:

the status of the HSM installed in the PSE2. If the unit is functioning correctly, a
message that includes the following is returned:
PSE status NORMAL

the status and process ID (pid) of the etnetserver process.
Example
[admin@PSe ~] PSE_status

2) etnetserver (pid 1026) is running...
PSE status NORMAL
Setting the IP address
The PSE2 is equipped with two NICs ( eth0 and eth1 ), each of which can be
configured with its own IP address. The IP address for each NIC is specified in the
following files:
NIC Configuration file
eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
eth1 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
Note: If you want to use the eth1 interface, you must
create this file. The recommended method is to copy,
rename, and edit the
ifcfg-eth0 file.
