Yes, we are a TSS shop using EKM. However, we don’t do any native tape encryption. All of ours is behind a TS7700 VTS. Sounds likely, however, what CA is telling you. My suggestion to you is to have more than one EKM Server, so that at least one is up all the time. If you only run a single production LPAR, then I guess that is a problem. If you have a development LPAR, I would consider running EKM there as well.
Didn’t CA tell you exactly what is wrong with the ACID? What is the additional message text of IOS638E. There appears to be multiple scenarios this message documents. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Top Secret and EKM Does anyone have EKM working and are using Top Secret for security? I am having an issue with IOSAS and TSS. After an IPL the first job that requests an encryption of a tape fails with IOS628E. This causes my tape to have an I/O error and is dismounted. The job then immediately mounts a new tape and viola it runs to a good EOJ. However, now I have a tape I have to correct in CA1 and ISMF in order to use it again. IBM sent me to CA and CA TSS is saying this is due to TSS coming up later than IOSAS and the ACID is not quiet correct. Anyone else run into this? Lizette PS Sorry if this is a duplicate.
