lunacm hsm init Command

This command, and all the lunacm hsm commands, appear only when the current slot selected in lunacm is for a local HSM, like an installed Luna PCI-E.

HSM commands do not appear in the lunacm command menu when lunacm is directed at a slot corresponding to a remote Luna SA - lunacm has a client-only connection to a remote HSM and therefore cannot log in as SO to a remote HSM.

For Luna SA, the HSM commands are available via the Luna appliance's Luna Shell (lunash:>), which can be accessed via ssh if you have the required authentication.

NAME

hsm init - Initialize the HSM

SYNOPSIS

lunacm:> hsm init -label <hsmlabel> -password <hsmsopassword> [-force]

DESCRIPTION

The hsm init command initializes the HSM. Initializing the HSM erases all existing data on the key card, including any HSM Partition and its data. HSM Partition then must be recreated with the partition create command.

Because this is a destructive command, the user is asked to “proceed” unless the -force switch is provided at the command line.
