IBM PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessors Issue Detection Capability on IBM i

Provides targeted identification and diagnostic capabilities to isolate operational faults, failures, and anomalous behaviors specifically related to the IBM PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessors.

Delivers critical feature alignment for multiple key clients (banks) as audit teams begin to request dedicated monitoring capabilities.

 

For example:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS NO_CRYPTO_HW_NOT_OPERATIONAL FROM QSYS2.HARDWARE_RESOURCE_INFO WHERE RESOURCE_CATEGORY = 'CRYPTO' AND STATUS <> 'OPERATIONAL';

SELECT * FROM SYSTOOLS.PROBLEM_INFO
WHERE PROBLEM_STATUS LIKE 'OPENED'
AND OPEN_TIME > CURRENT TIMESTAMP - 5 MINUTES
AND PROBLEM_CATEGORY <> 'LOGONLY'
AND (
LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE %crypto%'
OR LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE '%coprocessor%'
OR LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE '%coprocesador%';
OR LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE '%master key%'
OR LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE '%clave maestra%'
OR LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE '%battery%'
OR LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE '%bater%a%'
OR LOWER(PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION) LIKE '%tamper%'
)
