If you cannot resolve the issue, contact your supplier or Thales Customer Support. Thales Customer Support operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your level of access to this service is governed by the support plan arrangements made between Thales and your organization. Please consult this support plan for further information about your entitlements, including the hours when telephone support is available to you.
Provide flexible administration via a web-based management console, command line interface (CLI), and application programming interfaces (API) including REST and SOAP. This guide describes how to install and configure the DSM V6100 and V6000 hardware appliances, an DSM virtual appliance.
The V6000 and V6100 DSM hardware appliances support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). IPMI is a computer interface specification for autonomous computer subsystems. It provides remote access to the V6000 and V6100 hardware appliances. It allows administrators to remotely monitor appliance health (temperature, power consumption, physical drive status, chassis intrusion), perform remote cold boots (power off and power on), and access the DSM CLI from a remote location.

This chapter describes how to set up a Luna SA HSM (Hardware Security Module) with a DSM virtual cluster or a V6000. (The V6100 already contains an HSM. It cannot be configured with a Luna SA HSM). The purpose of an HSM is to protect sensitive data from being stolen by providing a highly secure operation structure.
DSM HA clusters register to the same partition. Note Thales does not recommend having multiple HA clusters registered to the same partition because it decreases fault tolerance. In the PED-authenticated Luna, you can also have multiple clusters using different partitions on the same Luna, or you can use multiple Lunas, for increased fault tolerance.

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.
To upgrade an HA deployment, follow the procedure described in the HA chapter. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of DSM v5.3 or v5.3.1 with KMIP data, contact Thales e-Security Support. To migrate from a V5800 with HSM appliance to a V6100 appliance, see “Migrating from V5 appliances to V6x00 appliances”...

DSM appliances (V6000 or virtual DSM). V6000 and Virtual Appliances An HA cluster may consist of both V6000 and virtual DSMs. If you plan to create an HA cluster for a network HSM-enabled DSM, then all nodes in the cluster must be network HSM-enabled appliances so that they can all connect to the network HSM.

DSM appliances, which do not have a built-in HSM, can be configured to use a network HSM via an nShield Connect HSM. When configuring high availability (HA) for network HSM-enabled DSM, Thales recommends the following: Configure at least two nShield Connect appliances in the Security World for fault tolerance. This means that in the event that one of the appliances is not reachable, the Security World is still available.
DSM has joined the cluster. "Configuring High Availability for Network HSM-enabled Nodes" on the previous page. See the VDS Administrators Guide for instructions on other HA functions such as: DSM Installation and Configuration Guide Copyright 2009 - 2020 Thales Group. All rights reserved.

Best Practices after IPMI is Configured DSM IPMI CLI Commands The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) provides browser-based remote access to the V6000 and V6100 hardware appliances. It allows administrators to remotely monitor appliance health (temperature, power consumption, physical drive status, chassis intrusion, and others), perform cold boots (power-off and power-on), an d access the DSM CLI.
Configuring and Accessing IPMI on the DSM Configuring IPMI on the DSM Before you can use IPMI to configure your DSM V6000/V6100 appliance, you need to configure an IP address, and enable the KVM port for remote Java console support.
Select Share for IPMI to connect through the first LAN port (port 0 or port1) on the board. Note Thales recommends that you use a dedicated port for IPMI. 7. The RMCP (Re-mote Mail Checking Protocol) Port allows the user to select the desired RMCP port. The default port is 623.
