hsm ped vector init

Initialize a Remote PED vector. This command creates a new Remote PED key by doing the following:

> Initializing a Remote PED vector (RPV)

> Imprinting the RPV onto the current HSM as well as onto an orange PED key (RPK).

•The RPK is kept with the Remote PED, when you set up a Remote PED workstation. The RPK allows a SafeNet Luna Network HSM with that RPV to connect to a Remote PED workstation where the attached PED provides the matching RPV, via the orange RPK.

•The RPV is a secret that facilitates the secure connection between a particular HSM that has that secret, and a Remote PED Server computer that has the RPK containing the identical secret. The HSM must be connected to a computer that runs Remote PED client, to manage the HSM's end of the Remote PED connection. More than one HSM can be imprinted with the same RPV, but a single Remote PED Server can connect with only one such remotely located HSM (via its client) at one time.

NOTE   You must be logged into the HSM as SO/HSM Admin (with the blue SO PED key), before you can run this command.

NOTE   To set up or erase a PED vector, or to make or break the Remote PED connection, on an HSM that is externally connected to the SafeNet Luna Network HSM, use the "-serial" option to specify the target HSM. If "-serial" is not specified, then the command acts on the SafeNet Luna Network HSM's internal HSM card.
