After upgrading BIG-IP, a symbolic link is missing to the core Safenet library.
Safenet 6.2 is not functional.
This occurs when a BIG-IP installation with Safenet 6.2 already installed is upgraded.
Reinstall Safenet 6.2. Or, run this command at all blades of BIG-IP after the installation. ln -sf /shared/safenet/toolkit/libgem.so /usr/lib64/openssl/engines/libgem.so
Add symbolic link to libgem at time of pkcs11d daemon start/restart.
