My team is at a bi-yearly coop test. We have been given a z900 to test on. Our system is a z890 w/o optional PCI crypto. We do have the feature 3863 enabled so we can use the crypto that is built in to the z890. We only need the crypto for SSL TN3270 and FTP/SSL. At coop on thier z900, our system ssl is telling us that crypto is not available. The coop site se's do not know why. The z900 that we are testing on does have the optional PCI crypto engines installed. We do not run ICSF. Never found a need for it. Does anyone know why this LPAR on the z900 will not run system ssl?

I looked at two or three of the other replies, and while they gave useful information, they did not give the answer.

The z800, z900 and 9672s do not have the same crypto hardware that the z990 and newer have. For those, you HAVE to use ICSF to use the crypto hardware.

For the z990, z890, z9, and z10, The feature that was mentioned turns on
CPACF hardware that can be used with ICSF.
