If you have no crypto coprocessors installed there is not much you can do with ICSF and I don't think it will even stay up if it can't find a coprocessor.

I simply cannot get ICSF to work on our z890 (2086-A04). We don't have any crypto coprocessors. I don't know if we have CPACF on or not. Is there a way that I can tell from the HMC? If so, please be specific as to what to do and what to look for (thanks). I have created the two VSAM files: CKDS & PKDS. They are "uninitialized". I have created CSFPRM00 in PARMLIB. I have started the ICSF procedure. When I try to use the ISPF panels, I get "OPTION NOT ACTIVE" on just about everything that I try. In particular on "MASTER KEY", then "INIT/REFRESH CKDS" and "SET MK". I've followed the book to the best of my ability. I had it working on our old z800 may moons ago. We are planning to upgrade to a z9BC in about a month.
