Seeking comments on the (non-)advisability and implications of running
Integrated Cryptographic Services Facility (ICSF) on a z9 that has NONE
of the "crypto assist" features enabled or installed (don't ask; not
even the "free" one(s)).
I didn't know that the crypto engines on the Z9 could be disabled. I
thought you got them whether you wanted them or not.
In any case, without buying a CEX2C board, ICSF won't initialize
because you can't encrypt the CKDS and PKDS datasets without buying
that board. So you can't use ICSF without buying the CEX2C board.
As far as doing crypto calls in software, you can do that - it just
uses CP cycles. If you have a large amount of free CPU then it should
work fine.
