Like Mr. Bitner, I too would be interested to know how folks intend to use
this information. I'm not denying the need, but want to understand the
importance. The only one I've seen so
Right now I only run z/VM in an IFL LPAR, but may eventually also run it
in a CP LPAR.
I can see where it might be nice to be able to base actions on LPAR type

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

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.;-)

I dont feel the question was answered properly. The user wanted to
know if running in an IFL could be determined say from REXX. Is
there some flag or system variable that might indicate the lpar is an
IFL or not?
What if a site does not have a ZOS guest to ipl.
I do know if you attempt
And with an ESAMON macro - written in REXX, you can obtain
this data. Even zMON would have this capability (I say zMON
because that is a very low cost solution)

Even better, the
Barton's correct...I had forgotten that the Velocity suite of products
can tell you information about the LPAR configuration.
Of course, if IBM ever changes the rules and allows different engine
types to be in the same LPAR, the problem changes considerably:-)

The data comes from the monitor, I think it is this record:
http://www.vm.ibm.com/pubs/mon520/MRSYTCUP.HTML . The performance
toolkit can show it on the LPAR screen, but you have to scroll over
to the right.

Help with this rexx macro would of course be part of
normal customer support. should be posted shortly.
And the architecture supports identifying all the processor
types. haven't seen ziip/zaap data yet, but expect them
easily identified.

On the PERFSVM LPAR screen, if you scroll to the right and look at the Type
column. I pointed at it and hit PF1 for help and got this. Don't have an
IFL, so I don't know what it would show--progable IFL.

I am curious as to why you care about whether you
are running on an IFL or not?
One example - a couple years we got our first IFL and were all excited.
Shortly thereafter we found out that Operations had defined our IFL LPAR
to use standard engines. %-)

Of course, you can always take the Linux kernel approach. See arch/s390/head.S
(2.6 kernel). Your interested in the sclp code at label .Lrcp2. It won't work
on an IFL processor.
