The PKCS #11 subsystem is designed to automatically detect
adapters capable of supporting PKCS #11 calls during installation
and at reboot. For this reason, any IBM® 4758 Model 2 Cryptographic Coprocessor that is not properly
configured will not be accessible from the PKCS #11 interface and
calls sent to the adapter will fail.
To verify that your adapter is set up correctly, complete
the following:
- Ensure that the software for the adapter is properly installed
by typing the following command:
lsdev -Cc adapter | grep crypt
If the IBM 4758
Model 2 Cryptographic Coprocessor is not included in the resulting
list, check that the card is seated properly and that the supporting
software is correctly installed.
- Determine that the proper firmware has been loaded onto
the card by typing the following:
csufclu /tmp/l ST device_number_minor
Verify that the
Segment 3 Image has the PKCS #11 application loaded. If it is not
loaded refer to the adapter specific documentation to obtain the latest
microcode and installation instructions.
Note: If this
utility is not available, then the supporting software has not been
installed.
