Solution 2292422.1 : Oracle Key Manager (OKM) - Any KMA Running 3.x Code Version Prior To 3.3 Will Get An Error On Future OKM Software Downloads After November 12 2017

Applies to:

Oracle Key Manager - Version 3.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

OKM 3.3 Digital Signing Notes

All OKM 3.x software upgrade releases are digitally signed. Due to a bug in the signature verification process, any 3.x code version prior to 3.3 will get an error on the download after November 12 2017.

Solution

What this means is the following:

1) Any customer running below 3.3 will not be able to upgrade to the 3.3 version after November 12 2017 without assistance from Oracle Level 2 Support or a Field Engineer onsite to manually upgrade the code.

2) Any customer that is below version 3.3 and wants to stay on their current version can do so but with the knowledge that if they want to upgrade at a date after Nov 12 2017 manual intervention will be required by Oracle Level 2 support or a Field Engineer will need to be dispatched for this action.

3) Once an OKM is running on version 3.3 it can be upgraded to future versions without any further manual intervention. Standard upgrade procedures would apply.

4) Hard Disk Drive(HDD) FRUs - All HDD's are imaged with software that is below version 3.3 at this time. If a HDD fails, the code upgrade process varies depending on what version the customer was previously running on and what version they want to run on.

X4170 M2 500GB Disk Drive 542-0371 with KMS 2.3.1 = FRU 542-0410

NS T4-1 OKM 3.0 Preloaded HDD = FRU 7087722

Sparc T7-1 OKM 3.1 Preloaded HDD = FRU 7331569
