This is the 2GB LPAR on the IBM Remote Development program. I'm guessing that's how it's rolled out to folks like us. I have had some success on another customer site, but I can't really post about it here because it's . And the third customer site gets the same S106 abend. This same problem

ICSF is currently required if you want to use the Unix /dev/random and /dev/urandom devices. These might be required by Unix apps (or jobs/stcs that use z/OS Unix System services). For exampe: IBM OpenSSH server will not work without ICSF and /dev/random available. On Fri, Jan 18, 2019 at 5:24

Re: ICSF and z/OS 2.3

ICSF is only required if you want to use the ICSF APIs, so it depends on what, if anything in your shop might be using the APIs. System SSL (TLS) will certainly leverage the APIs if you have Crypto Express cards available and that might provide some CPU relief. The Guardium Database

Wayne, Please let us know how the PMR path plays out. If there are parts of the loadmod that need to be below 16M, perhaps going forward they'd even consider making it an RMODE=SPLIT program object so that only the parts that truly need to be below 16M are, or if not that then the more brute
