Checking the device driver status

The first step of troubleshooting while working with the EP11 enablement may be to check the device driver status as described in this topic.

Use the lszcrypt command like shown to retrieve basic status information. Type lszcrypt -V to achieve an output similar to the following:

# lszcrypt -V

CARD.DOMAIN TYPE  MODE        STATUS  REQUEST_CNT   ...  REQUESTQ_CNT HW_TYPE Q_DEPTH FUNCTIONS
