Verifying the IBM 4960 Model 2 Cryptographic Accelerator for use with the Public Key Cryptography Standards #11 subsystem

The PKCS #11 subsystem is designed to automatically detect adapters capable of supporting PKCS #11 calls during installation and at reboot. For this reason, any IBM® 4960 Cryptographic Accelerator that is not properly configured will not be accessible from the PKCS #11 interface and calls sent to the adapter will fail.

To ensure that the software for the adapter is properly installed, type the following command:

lsdev -Cc adapter | grep ica

If the IBM 4960 Cryptographic Accelerator is not included in the resulting list, check that the card is seated properly and that the supporting device driver is correctly installed.
