info about right pattern on hsm restart

[armando-basile]

Hi Xipki, i would like to implement a right pattern in case of restart hsm necessary. I saw that, after i restarted hsm, i received this error on next use Unknwon mechanism with code: 0x0000000080000384

Which should be a right pattern ?

• Is there a method to check module state ? So i could try to check state before perform operations.
• If there is a specific exception, i could try to manage exception and launch reinit module (should i finalize and initialize in this case ?)
• i could try to use getInfo() to detect if module state is no good ?
• Should i shutdown and restart application completely ?

1. As mentioned in #1, the re-init of HSM module cannot be implemented. You need to restart the JVM.
2. Related to the Unknown mechanism error, please provide more log information.

Ok, so, of i understand, of hsm power off and after power on i need to restart jvm to reinitialize modulo and go away, it's right ?

Thanks

Yes, you need to restart the jvm.
