Backing Up the Appliance Configuration to the HSM
You can protect a configuration setup against the possibility of appliance failure by exporting a backup
snapshot file into the internal HSM or an external backup HSM. The command
sysconf config export
allows
you to place the configuration backup file onto an HSM and
sysconf config import
allows you to retrieve the
file from that HSM, back to the appliance file system. The export command gives you two target options:
>
The internal HSM of your SafeNet Luna Network HSM appliance. This could be useful if a component failed
in the appliance, you sent the appliance back to SafeNet for rework under the RMA procedure, received it
back repaired, and then retrieved the file from your HSM to restore your appliance settings.
>
An external HSM, such as a Backup HSM or token. This could be useful if the current appliance failed and
you wished to install a replacement. Similarly, you could use system configuration backup files restored
from a Backup HSM to uniformly configure multiple SafeNet appliances with a standard set of parameters
applicable to your enterprise.
If you are exporting a configuration backup to a SafeNet Luna Network HSM, please note the following file size
restrictions:
>
The maximum size of individual exportable files is 64 KB.
>
The maximum storage capacity of the Admin/SO partition is 384 KB.
