Enabling the platform keystore capability on a logical partition

With the HMC version 9.2.950, you can enable the platform key store capability if the system supports the feature.

Before enabling the platform keystore feature on a logical partition, verify that the IBM Power system server supports the platform keystore capability by using the lssyscfg command along with -F attribute. Before running this command, ensure that the system is in a stand by or operating state. If the system supports the platform keystore capability, you can also use the lssyscfg command to view the range of the keystore size.

When the HMC is at V9.2.950.0, or later, and when the firmware is at level FW950, or later, you can choose the keystore size for a logical partition. You can choose the value for the keystore size within the range supported by the system. The value of 0 kilobytes (KB) indicates that the keystore function is disabled for the logical partition. To view the minimum and maximum value for the keystore size, type the following the command:

lssyscfg -r sys -m <system_name> -Flpar_keystore_min_kbytes, lpar_keystore_max_kbytes
