vreset

You can use the vreset command to reset a SafeNet PCI-E 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 PCI-E HSM installed in the host computer, and is optional if you have multiple SafeNet PCI-E HSMs installed. If you have multiple SafeNet PCI-E HSMs installed, you can use this parameter to specify which HSM to reset, as follows: •/dev/viper0 - reset the first SafeNet PCI-E HSM listed by the slot list command. •/dev/viper1 - reset the second SafeNet PCI-E HSM listed by the slot list command. •/dev/viper2 - reset the third SafeNet PCI-E HSM listed by the slot list command. If you have multiple SafeNet PCI-E HSMs installed, and do not specify this parameter, then the first SafeNet PCI-E HSM listed by the slot list command is reset.
