Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use a crypto card with an IFL engine? We have
a z800 with two standard processors and two IFL processors. We want to add a crypto
card so that SuSE SLES8 on an LPAR with the IFLs can offload some of the security
processing.
IBM's redbook SG24-6870-00 "zSeries Crypto Guide Update" can be read two ways: one
way says they will work and one way says they won't.
Also, if it does work, how many cards should we get and what kind? PCICC or PCICA?
