Ted, I am unfarmiliar with the internal implementation in PR/SM, z/OS or z/VM. However, this is from z890 PR/SM Planning Guide: *
*The Usage Domain Index identifies the cryptographic coprocessor domain(s) assigned to the partition for all cryptographic coprocessors that are configured for the partition. Usage domain denotes where a specific partition's secure crypto data resides and where applications running on that partition will be obtaining the cryptographic data. If running z/OS, the usage domain index(es) selected should match the domain number(s) entered in the Options dataset when starting this partition's instance of ICSF. As of z/OS 1.2 the usage domain specification in the Options dataset is only required if multiple usage domain index(es) are selected. If running z/VM in a logical partition with guests, such as Linux, a range of usage domain indices should be selected when requiring access to the Cryptographic features. A range will allow access to the PCI Cryptos in the Cryptographic feature(s). A range will allow more than one guest to have dedicated or shared access to the crypto queues. Notice they are talking about domain(s) and index(es). Personnaly, I remember selecting 5 indexes for an LPAR. Gil.
