token backup partition delete

Delete a backup partition on the Luna Backup HSM. To use the token backup partition delete command you must be logged in to the Backup HSM as HSM SO.

An external Luna Backup HSM can be USB-connected to a Luna Network HSM appliance for local backup/restore operations.

Luna Network HSM does not pass PED operations and data through to an externally-connected Luna Backup HSM from a Luna PED connected locally to the Luna Network HSM.

If the Backup HSM is PED-authenticated, then the options for Luna PED connection are:

>local PED connection, directly to the Backup HSM, when needed, or

>Remote PED connection, passed through the Luna Network HSM (requires minimum Luna Network HSM appliance software 7.7.0, see Backing Up to an Appliance-Connected Luna Backup HSM (G7))
