Changing coprocessor or accelerator status

You can change the status of your cryptographic coprocessors and accelerators, either activating or deactivating them. From the ICSF Primary Menu panel, select option 1, COPROCESSOR MGMT, and the CSFCMP00 — Coprocessor Management panelis displayed.

There are action characters that can be entered on the left of the PCI coprocessor or accelerator number.

Character

Indication

D

Makes a coprocessor or accelerator unavailable. The status becomes DEACTIVATED. When the request is made, the status of the coprocessor or accelerator may be anything except OFFLINE.

A

Makes available a coprocessor or accelerator previously deactivated by a 'D' action character.

For a coprocessor, if the coprocessor is online and the master keys are correct, the status will be ACTIVE when the request is made. If the master keys are incorrect, the state will be MasterKeys incorrect.

For an accelerator, the status will be ACTIVE when the request completes successfully.
