partition changepolicy

Change HSM Admin-modifiable elements from the HSM partition policy. This command toggles or alters a policy of the specified HSM partition. Only certain portions of the policy set are HSM Admin-modifiable. These policies and their current values can be determined using the partition showpolicies command. After a successful policy change, the command displays the new policy value.

This command must be executed by the Luna appliance “admin” logged in to the HSM as HSM Admin. If the HSM Admin is not authenticated, a “user not logged in” error message is returned.

This command can set a policy on or off, or set it to a certain value if it is a numerical policy. Policies can be set only to more restrictive values than the associated capability. You cannot relax a policy to a less-restrictive setting than the associated capability value. See the Capabilities and Policies section of this Reference Help, for a list of all partition capabilities/policies and their meanings.
