partition create

Create an application partition on a locally installed or USB-connected HSM.

The command is run from the HSM administrative partition. The HSM SO must be logged in.

Syntax

partition create -slot <number> [-size <bytes>] [-force]

Argument(s)	Shortcut	Description
-force	-f	Force the action without prompting for confirmation (useful when scripting commands).
-size <bytes>	-si	Storage size of partition in bytes (used only for HSMs supporting multiple application partitions, to specify a size other than the calculated default size - depends on HSM memory, existing application partitions, and their specifications)
-slot <number>	-sl	Slot where the new partition is to be created (declares a PSO partition - not used if -label is specified)

NOTE   If the HSM supports just a single application partition, and one already exists, the partition create command stops and throws the error "Error in execution : CKR_LICENSE_CAPACITY_EXCEEDED." To create a new application partition, delete the existing one first, with partition delete, then re-issue partition create.
