We had SMF ID's, at one shop, that were set up to identify the systems as 3090's. They changed it with upgrades from 3033's, 470's, and 308x's. But, after the the upgrades to 3090's, the exits were set up to manage stuff based on fixed SMF ID's. So, we had 1100A's, 1400A's, 9672's, & z/900's identified as 3090's. We even had vendors make assumptions based on SMF ID's.
