Removing an HSM from an AWS CloudHSM cluster - AWS CloudHSM

You can remove an HSM by using the AWS CloudHSM console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS CloudHSM API.

To remove an HSM (console)
  1. Open the AWS CloudHSM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudhsm/home.

  2. Choose the cluster that contains the HSM that you are removing.

  3. On the HSMs tab, choose the HSM that you are removing. Then choose Delete HSM.

  4. Confirm that you want to delete the HSM. Then choose Delete.

To remove an HSM (AWS CLI)
  • At a command prompt, issue the delete-hsm command. Pass the ID of the cluster that contains the HSM that you are deleting and one of the following HSM identifiers:

    • The HSM ID (--hsm-id)

    • The HSM IP address (--eni-ip)

    • The HSM's elastic network interface ID (--eni-id)

    If you don't know the values for these identifiers, issue the describe-clusters command.

    $ aws cloudhsmv2 delete-hsm --cluster-id <cluster ID> --eni-ip <HSM IP address> { "HsmId": "hsm-lgavqitns2a" }
