This chapter describes how to upgrade your DSM software version to the latest DSM version. It describes how to
migrate from older (V5800) hardware appliances to the new V6x00 hardware appliances. It also describes how to
enable Remote HSM Management for the V6100 appliance.
WARNING
Thales strongly recommends that you backup your DSM configuration before
upgrading or migrating to a new version. An upgrade cannot be rolled back. The only
way to go back to a previous version is to restore a backup of the DSM configuration
that was made before the upgrade, to the version of the software in use before the
upgrade.
Overview
The software on a DSM appliance can always be upgraded to the next immediate release version. In some cases,
upgrades to a higher version while skipping an intermediate releases is also possible.
In a scenario that involves a platform change, it is called a migration. A migration is also when you upgrade the DSM
hardware appliance to a new V6x00 appliances.
Both upgrades and migrations are described in the sections below, including upgrades and migrations when using
DSM with KMIP.
Note
The DSM hostname must match one of the hostnames on the HA server list page. If a mismatch is found,
the migration is aborted and an audit message is logged. For a successful migration, prior to the next
upgrade attempt, you must run the security gencert command (0001:system$ security gencert) on the
DSM CLI and enter the DSM’s hostname exactly as shown in the audit log.
Supported Upgrade Paths
To upgrade from release 5 versions of the DSM software, you need to upgrade to v6.0 before you can proceed with
upgrading to the latest version. The illustration below shows all valid upgrade paths:
