You can turn off Activation for an HSM Partition by issuing the deactivate
command.
Type:
partition deactivate -par <partitionname>
If Activation is turned off, then autoActivation is also turned off (cached authentication data is cleared) at the same time, but when the Luna HSM is Activated again, autoActivation resumes.
To turn off autoActivation, you must turn off the policy. Type:
partition changePolicy -partition <partitionname> -policy <policycode> -value <numvalue> .
