It's been a long time since I've INIT'd a PKDS, my config had a co processor installed and I had to have CSF running to INIT a PKDS and store the DES master key did you start CSF?

CPACF is enabled in the machine. There are no cryptographic coprocessors installed. I can initialize the CKDS using the panel. But when I try to initialize the PKDS, the panel displays "OPTION NOT ACTIVE". PF1 displays 'THE SELECTED PANEL OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE WITH YOUR CURRENT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION" Is this normal? Can I not use the PKDS on a system with only CPACF? Or do I need to enable some other option somewhere? Thanks. -- People in sleeping bags are the soft tacos of the bear world.
