Steps for reinitializing a system

Use this section when you are reinitializing a system after the master keys have been cleared or you are migrating to a new server.

You must use the same pass phrase you originally used to initialize the master keys, CKDS and PKDS.
Note: If the system supports any additional master key type and there is no MKVP in the CKDS or PKDS for the key type, the master key will not become active. Use the 'Add missing MKs' option after the system has been initialized to add any new master keys that the new server supports.
  1. Type the pass phrase in the space that is provided and select the 'Reinitialize system' option by placing an "s" in the "_" field.
  2. Fill in the CKDS and PKDS fields with the names of VSAM data sets that were used when your system was initialized.
  3. Press ENTER to run the utility.

    The utility verifies that the pass phrase matches the CKDS and PKDS. The master key values are calculated and loaded into all coprocessors.

    Messages on the bottom half of the panel display the progress of the utility.

  4. If there are any valid master keys on your system, the CSFPMC20 — Pass Phrase MK/CKDS/PKDS Initialization panel appears. This prevents you from making a mistake and changing a system that is already operational.
  5. When the utility has completed successfully, press END to return to the primary menu.
