HSM Menu 
Command Syntax and Usage
init
 
Initializes HSM operation. This command resets the HSM configuration and erases all stored keys and passwords. You are prompted to add the HSM to a security domain and reset the Security Officer (SO) passwords.
Values: 7-14 character string.
Init procedure requires HSM SO password.
adv
 
Displays the HSM Advanced Settings menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/ssl/certs/hsm/adv HSM Advanced Settings Menu.
trust
 
Creating trust between two or more Alteons containing HSM modules initializes the redundant configuration between the HSM modules. For ongoing configuration updates, run the sync command.
The trust command is operated consecutively on a pair of Alteons. You can randomly choose which Alteon to start with.
*Select one of Alteons on which to run the trust command. You are prompted to specify if this Alteon is the first or second in the pair. Specify it as the first, and then enter the IP address of the second Alteon.
*Run the trust command on the second Alteon. You are prompted to specify if this Alteon is the first or second in the pair. Specify it as the second, and then enter the IP version (IPV4 or IPV6) for connection with the first Alteon.
Note: When performing the trust process between two devices, the WebUI disconnects, and when you try to reconnect, the following message displays "HSM Error: Invalid session handle passed in the command." When the trust process completes, the WebUI connection returns.
You must run the trust operations on both Alteons within one minute.
Running the trust operation requires HSM SO password.
Notes:
The trust command may result in a momentarily disruption to SSL connections. This command is required only when initializing the redundant configuration.
The two Alteons should have the same security domain.
cur
 
Displays the current HSM status.
