Chapter 1: Appliance Hardware Functions
If power was removed while the system was on (either a power failure, or the power cable was disconnected),
the system restarts without a button press. This behavior allows unattended resumption of activity after power
interruption.
The front-panel LCD begins showing activity, then settles into the ongoing system status display once the
appliance has completed its boot-up and self-test activity. See
"Front-panel LCD Display" on page 12
in the
Appliance Administration Guide
.
Power Off
To power-off the HSM appliance locally, press and release the START/STOP switch. Do not hold it in. The HSM
appliance then performs an orderly shutdown (that is, it closes the file system and shuts down services in
proper order for the next startup). This takes approximately 30 seconds to complete. In the unlikely event that
the system freezes and does not respond to a momentary “STOP” switch-press, then press and hold the
START/STOP switch for five seconds. This is an override that forces immediate shutoff.
CAUTION!
Never disconnect the power by pulling the power plug. Always use the
START/STOP switch.
To switch off the HSM appliance from the LunaSH command line, use the command
sysconf appliance
poweroff
.
Reboot
To perform a system restart, you can switch the power off and then on again using the momentary-contact
START/STOP switch on the front panel of the system, or issue the
sysconf appliance reboot
command.
To switch off the system, issue the
sysconf appliance poweroff
command, or use the START/STOP switch
on the SafeNet Luna Network HSM front panel:
>
If you issue the poweroff command, the system requests that you confirm by typing "proceed". After you
type "proceed", the system returns a success message. From that point the orderly shutdown takes 15 to
20 seconds.
>
After you momentarily press and release the START/STOP switch, the system performs a graceful
shutdown, which takes 15 to 20 seconds.
If the system does not appear to be properly shutting down, then press and hold the front-panel START/STOP
switch, which forces an immediate shutdown. This is not normally required, and should never be done unless it
is required, since it bypasses the normal, graceful file-system closing and shutdown procedure.
Hard Reboot
The commands
sysconf appliance reboot
and
sysconf appliance poweroff
are preferred when you have
easy physical access to the appliance, because they perform orderly shutdown, but you can access the
START/STOP button if the commands fail.
For situations where you do not have convenient local access to the START/STOP button on the appliance, the
preferred command choice is
sysconf appliance hardreboot
.
>
The disadvantage is that the shutdown is abrupt and not orderly - in a constrained and hardened system
like SafeNet Luna Network HSM, any risk is minimal, but not zero.
