partition create
Create an application partition on a locally installed or USB-connected HSM.
The command is run from the HSM administrative partition. The HSM SO must be logged in.
Syntax
partition create -slot <number> [-size <bytes>] [-force]
| Argument(s) | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -force | -f | Force the action without prompting for confirmation (useful when scripting commands). |
| -size <bytes> | -si | Storage size of partition in bytes (used only for HSMs supporting multiple application partitions, to specify a size other than the calculated default size - depends on HSM memory, existing application partitions, and their specifications) |
| -slot <number> | -sl | Slot where the new partition is to be created (not used if -label is specified) |
| -version <number> | -v | Create a partition with version (0 or 1) |
NOTE If the HSM supports just a single application partition, and one already exists, the partition create command stops and throws the error "Error in execution : CKR_LICENSE_CAPACITY_EXCEEDED." To create a new application partition, delete the existing one first, with partition delete, then re-issue partition create.
Example without version specified
The partition in slot 3 is the administrative partition for the Luna PCIe HSM 7, and is not used by applications for crypto operations.
