partition clear

Delete all objects on a partition. Because this is a destructive command, the user is prompted to proceed/quit before the erasure occurs.

NOTE   This command requires Luna Appliance Software 7.8.1 or newer. It cannot be used on STC partitions; the Partition SO must use LunaCM at the client for partition management.

For password-authenticated HSMs, if the password isn't entered on the command line, the user will be prompted for it interactively. User input will be echoed as asterisks.

For multifactor quorum-authenticated HSMs, Luna PED action is required, and the Crypto Officer (black) PED key is requested. Any password provided at the command line is ignored. However, if a PIN was specified when the HSM partition was created, that PIN must be entered at the Luna PED keypad.
