This option is only available if a Luna HSM is initialized and a new Luna HSM firmware update is available.

First, create a current backup and secure all slots in use.

The HSM firmware update to 7.9.1 is only available if your HSM is running in Non FIPS mode.
No HSM firmware update is available when the appliance is running in FIPS mode.
