I don't run z/OS under z/VM so I don't know what the display might look like. From a pure z/OS display output from the "D M=CPU" command you should see something like the following two lines.
CPC ND = 002097.E12.IBM.02.00000005F415 CPC SI = 2097.504.IBM.02.000000000005F415 The number in the CPC SI line is what I call the "software" model. It is the number that most software vendors want to see. So in my case the hardware model is a 2097-E12 but the software model is a 2097-504.

We just moved our remaining LPAR over to a new z10. Now, some of our z/OS people are updating their licenses on their products to reflect the new serial number, etc. However, they are being asked for the new mainframe's "capacity number". I've never heard of that before. They are being told to run: d m=cpu from z/OS to get the number. However, since all of our z/OS systems are guests, I have no idea if the info being returned is accurate. Is there an equivelent in z/VM? I found the "query capability" command but am not sure if it is the same thing. Martha
