I'm tagging onto this. I had ICSF working on my z800 also. However, for
the life of me, I simply cannot get it to work on our "upgraded" z890
(z800->z890). I remember that I needed one or more features (free)
enabled on the z800. Is there something similar I need on the z890? We
don't have a crypto cards on the box.
And we won't get any because they cost money. Well, we might if I can
"push" the need for crypto and how a crypto card will allow us to do
crypto for "less money" by not using CPU resources.
Your machine has the CPACF feature (CP Assist for Cryptographic
Functions) which needs to be
activated (FC 3863). Different from the CCFs this is a non-disruptive
process. CPACF on a
z890 or z990 can do DES, TDES and SHA1. On a z109 BC or EC, it can also
do AES-128.
