Syntax

partition create -partition <name> [-size <size>] [-allfreestorage] [-force]

Argument(s)	Shortcut	Description
-allfreestorage	-a	Create the partition using all the remaining unused storage space on the HSM. After you create a partition with this option, you cannot create another without first deleting or resizing partitions to regain some space.
-force	-f	Force the partition creation with no prompting - you are still prompted by Luna PED, if yours is a PED authenticated HSM.
-partition <name>	-pa	Specifies the name to assign to the HSM Partition. The name must be unique among all HSM Partitions on the HSM.
-size <size>	-s	Specifies the size, in bytes, to allocate to the partition, from the remaining storage available on the HSM. If you specify a size, the HSM attempts to use it after calculating overhead requirements. If you do not specify a size, the HSM creates the partition with the default size, as determined by your purchased options for number of partitions and total storage on the HSM.
