Yeah, I know, Richard...I was just being a bit of a wisenheimer today....;-)
As near as I can tell, there is no programmatic way to determine what
kind of processor (standard or IFL) you're running on. A quick look at
the output of the STSI Instruction doesn't show anything about what kind
of processor (although I could have overlooked it...).
In any case, being able to determine what kind of processor would defeat
the whole point of having IFLs, imho. They're there to prevent 3rd party
ISVs (and you guys know who you are....;-) from increasing license fees
for z/OS products when a site adds engines to support z/VM and Linux
workloads.

Come on, Dave. z/OS???? That would add to the license fees. Besides,
it does not satisfy the stated requirement that it be done with REXX.
Is there any DIAG that returns this information? If not, shouldn't it
be included in DIAG 0?

Re: Can I verify zVM is running on an IFL?
Yes there is, James. Create a new guest virtual machine, and attempt
to IPL z/OS in it. If z/OS comes up, then your z/VM system is running
on standard processors, if not, then it's on IFL ones.....;-)

Hello, Is there a way to detect the processor type zVM is running
on IFL vs General, with REXX? TIA.
