Two CP's, no IFLs. The CMS virtual machines worked fine. It wasn't until IPLing the TPF guests that we discovered the issue.

In my experience I had both CPs and IFLs defined to the partition, but 5.3 would only use the CPs. It could see that the IFLs were there, but they could not be varied online. What kind of CPUs were defined to your z/VM mode LPAR? Maybe it only had IFLs? But the real answer is to not use z/VM mode unless you're on 5.4.
