Did you try cat /proc/cpuinfo ? Under zVM see processors, serialno and machine type I don't have any servers using just IFL's to check

Thanks Bruce... I read descriptions of both Q V CPUs and Q PROC but obviously did a "compare and swap" or something such in writing my post. Thanks for the correction. So VMCP Q V CPUs would work in a VM environment, but we still have a problem in the LPAR environmentt.
