partition create

Create an HSM partition on the HSM. This command creates a new HSM partition on the HSM. You must be logged in as HSM SO to use this command.

Partition names created in LunaSH must be 1-32 characters in length. The following characters are allowed:

abcdefghijklmnopqurstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 0123456789!@#$%^*()-_=+{}[]:,./?~

Spaces are allowed; enclose the partition name in double quotes if it includes spaces.

The following characters are not allowed: &\|;<>`'"?

No two partitions can have the same name.

Use the LunaCM command partition init to initialize the partition.

Syntax

partition create -partition <name> [-size <size>] [-allfreestorage] [-version <number>] [-force]

Argument(s)	Shortcut	Description
-allfreestorage	-a	Create the partition using all the remaining unused storage space on the HSM. Existing partitions, if any, are part of 'used space' and are not affected by this operation. After you create a partition with this option, you cannot create another without first deleting or resizing partitions to regain some space.
-force	-f	Force the partition creation with no prompting - you are still prompted by Luna PED, if yours is a PED authenticated HSM.
-partition <name>	-pa	Specifies the name to assign to the HSM Partition. The name must be unique among all HSM Partitions on the HSM.
-size <size>	-s	Specifies the size, in bytes, to allocate to the partition, from the remaining storage available on the HSM. If you specify a size, the HSM attempts to use it after calculating overhead requirements. If you do not specify a size, the HSM creates the partition with the default size, as determined by your purchased options for number of partitions and total storage on the HSM.
