There is also a recovery key that is used in the event SKLM isn't reachable. It needed to be setup when encryption was enabled.

I assumed ISKLM would not be usable for DASD because of the "catch-22" situation of needing the DASD to IPL z/OS. Suppose we had a complete power down of the computer room. Could we still somehow IPL z/OS from DASD that has not yet contacted its z/OS-based SKLM? Thanks... -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
