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.

NOTE   The hsm commands appear only when LunaCM's active slot is set to the administrative partition.

Syntax

hsm zeroize [-force]

Argument(s)	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.
