Adding cryptographic coprocessors

You can dynamically add cryptographic features. You must have feature 3863 installed on your system.

The cryptographic feature number must be in the Candidates list of the LPAR Activation panel. Configure On the card. Each feature will display. For coprocessors, once the master keys are entered, they become active. The accelerator will automatically become active.

Note: ALL crypto coprocessors cards must be loaded with the same level of code. Otherwise, unpredictable results can occur. When updating licensed internal code (LIC) on the coprocessors:

You can migrate to new LIC levels on the coprocessors one at a time without taking an outage, and
you need to complete the LIC upgrade on all coprocessors before trying to exploit a new function introduced by the new LIC.
