<snip> I had the CSF task working on our z800. However, when we upgraded to a z890, we did not get any sort of coprocessor card(s) because they cost extra and we didn't perceive any need. So my first question is, can I run CSF (on z/OS 1.6) without a coprocessor. If so, can anybody point me to a cook book which details exactly the steps that I need to take? I've been going according to "z/OS 1.6 ICSF System Programmer's Guide" and just hit a thick wall (my skull, most likely). Any help gratefully appreciated. Sorry for the long sig with the useless legalize and marketting mottos. <sigh> </snip>
Just went through the same scenario. The ICSF task should be OK. However, without the crypto coprocessors, some types of encryption will not be supported (sorry, don't have the details). The crypto algorithms that are supported are emulated in software and will show up as increased CPU utilization in the task.
