I was under the impression we had only a one engine CPU and no IFL. But how can I be sure? Don't you have to configure the LPAR in some way to use the IFL and can I not see if it is set to IFL?

Your statement about having only one CPU notwithstanding, I would have expected this if the TECH LPAR was running on an IFL instead of a standard CPU. Are you sure you don't have an IFL for the z/VM LPAR and a standard CPU for VSE? Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
