Barbara, for z10 and above, SMF70 has all the information about permanent,
temporary (including ON/Off CoD), and total (including OOCoD and CBU)
capacity. For all three levels the model identifier and the MSU rating is
provided.
Check out SMF70MPC/MTC/MCR/MTC/MPC

The "current" set provides the (physical) number of CPs as part of the model
identifier, as well as the MSU rating.
