Resetting the Backup HSM to Factory Conditions

These instructions will allow you to restore your SafeNet Luna Backup HSM to its original factory conditions, erasing its contents. This could be necessary if you have old backups that you do not wish to keep, or if you want to re-initialize the Backup HSM to store backups using a different authentication method (password or PED). If you have performed firmware updates, they are unaffected. Factory reset can be performed via LunaSH or LunaCM, depending on your Backup HSM deployment.

To reset the Backup HSM to factory conditions using LunaSH

1.Log in to LunaSH as admin or an admin-level custom user using a local serial connection.

2.[Optional] View the SafeNet Luna Backup HSMs currently connected to the appliance and find the correct serial number.

lunash:> token backup list

3.Reset the Backup HSM by specifying its serial number.

lunash:> token backup factoryreset -serial <Backup_HSM_serialnum>

To reset the Backup HSM to factory conditions using LunaCM

1.Launch LunaCM on the SafeNet Luna Backup HSM host workstation.

2.Set the active slot to the Backup HSM.

lunacm:> slot set -slot <slotnum>

3.Reset the Backup HSM.

lunacm:> hsm factoryreset
