partition archive restore
Restore partition objects from a backup. Use this command to restore objects from the specified backup partition, in a backup HSM, in a specified slot, to the current user partition.
Cloning is a repeating atomic action
When you call for a cloning operation (such as backup or restore), the source HSM transfers each object one at a time, encrypted with the source domain. If the source is a V0 or pre-7.7.0 partition, the target HSM then decrypts and verifies each received blob. If the source is a V1 partition, the blob remains encrypted on the Backup HSM. See V0 and V1 Partitions for more information.
If the verification is successful, the object is stored at its destination – the domains are a match. If the verification fails, then the blob is discarded and the target HSM reports the failure. If the domain string or the domain iKey used to create the target partition did not match the domain of the source HSM partition, the operation fails with the error CKR_CERTIFICATE_INVALID. If the source is a partition using firmware older than Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.0, the source HSM moves to the next item in the object list and attempts to clone again, until the end of the list is reached. If the source is a V0 or V1 partition, the restore operation ends when the first object fails.
NOTE To perform backup operations on Luna HSM Firmware 7.7.0 or newer (V0 or V1 partitions) you require at minimum:
>Luna Backup HSM 7 Firmware 7.7.1
>Luna Backup HSM G5 Firmware 6.28.0
You can use a Luna Backup HSM with older firmware to restore objects to a V0 or V1 partition, but this is supported for purposes of getting your objects from the older partitions onto the newer V0 or V1 partitions only. V0 and V1 partitions are considered more secure than partitions at earlier firmware versions - any attempt to restore from a higher-security status to lower-security status fails gracefully.
Syntax
partition archive restore -slot <backup_slot> -partition <backup_partition> -password <password> [-replace] [-smkonly] [-objects] [-debug] [-force]
| Argument(s) | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -debug | -deb | Turn on additional error information (optional). |
| -force | -f | Force action with no prompting. |
| -objects <object_handles> | -o |
Select specific individual objects to restore by specifying their object handles using any of the following methods: >a single object handle >0 or all, to indicate that all objects are to be extracted >a list of handles, separated by commas. For example: -objects 3,4,6 |
| -partition <backup_partition> | -par | Partition on the backup device. (maximum length of 64 characters) . |
| -password <password> | -pas | User password for the specified partition. |
| -replace | -r |
Allow objects in the target user partition with the same OUID as the backup objects to be deleted and replaced. Objects with the same OUID are replaced only if they differ from the backup objects in some way. For example, if the object attributes have changed since the last backup, the object is replaced. CAUTION! The -replace option is deprecated and has been removed in Luna HSM Client 10.7.0 and newer. If you wish to restore an earlier version of an object, Thales recommends deleting the object(s) manually before restoring the partition from backup. Ensure that the target partition can receive objects from the backup HSM before deleting objects or using partition archive restore with the -replace option; the cloning protocol may prevent objects from being restored, even if LunaCM states that |
| -slot <see description> | -s |
Target slot containing the backup device. It can be specified by any of the following: > <slot number>, if the backup slot is in the current system. >direct to specify a USB-attached backup device. If you know the slot number that contains the USB-attached HSM, you can specify that slot number explicitly (for example, -s 5) |
| -smkonly | -smk |
Restore the SKS Master Key (SMK) without objects. |
Example
