Reconfiguring a central processor with an ICRF

The operator cannot directly reconfigure an ICRF. When the operator uses the CONFIG command to reconfigure a central processor with an associated ICRF, the system changes the online/offline status of both the central processor and the associated ICRF as follows:

• When the operator enters a CONFIG CPU(x), ONLINE and Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility/MVS (ICSF/MVS) is active in the processor complex, the system brings the ICRF online.
• When the operator enters a CONFIG CPU(x), OFFLINE command the system takes the ICRF offline.
• When the operator enters a CONFIG CPU(x), ONLINE and ICSF/MVS is not active, the ICRF is not brought online until ICSF/MVS is started.
