vreset

You can use the vreset command to reset a SafeNet PCIe HSM that has become unresponsive, without having to reboot the host computer.

Syntax

vreset [<device>]

Parameter	Description
<device>	Specifies the handle of the device that you want to reset. This parameter is not required if you have only one SafeNet PCIe HSM installed in the host computer, and is optional if you have multiple SafeNet PCIe HSMs installed. If you have multiple SafeNet PCIe HSMs installed, you can use this parameter to specify which HSM to reset, as follows: •/dev/viper0 - reset the first SafeNet PCIe HSM listed by the slot list command. •/dev/viper1 - reset the second SafeNet PCIe HSM listed by the slot list command. •/dev/viper2 - reset the third SafeNet PCIe HSM listed by the slot list command. If you have multiple SafeNet PCIe HSMs installed, and do not specify this parameter, then the first SafeNet PCIe HSM listed by the slot list command is reset.
