hsm zeroize

Puts the HSM in a zeroized state. All partitions and cryptographic contents of the HSM will be destroyed. Because this is a destructive command, the user is prompted to "proceed" unless the -force option is included. This action does not affect HSM policies, remote PED settings, or Auditor settings.

Syntax

hsm zeroize [-force]

Option	Shortcut	Description
-force	-f	Force the action without prompts. If this option is included in the list, the HSM will be zeroized without prompting the user for a confirmation of this destructive command.

Example

lunacm:>hsm zeroize

        You are about to zeroize the HSM.

        All contents of the HSM will be destroyed.

        HSM policies, remote PED vector and Auditor left unchanged.
