Resolution

Answer:

Run this command on your Linux environment:

The rng-tools package:

yum install rng-tools

 

export JCS_SERVICE_TIMEOUT=600 (Increased JCS Service Timeout)

sudo rngd -r /dev/urandom (Increased the entropy to 3968)

In additional to those commands, a case must be opened with CA Support to request this hotfix: "hf-120607-001-linux". This will help address the "Failed to start JCS Service" and "cryto" Java errors.
