So Hal indeed has an anomaly (unless z/OS.e is more VM like than I thought.)  
He shows 3 CPs enabled from the service element.  I will be interested to see 
if it will be fixed with an IPL, deactivate/activate of the LPAR, or other 
solution.  I wonder if work is actually being dispatched on the fourth logical 
CP.  

Speaking of terminology changes over the years, LPs = Logical Partitions in the 
PR/SM manual, not Logical Processors.  What ever happened to LPAR?  Good grief! 
 I must not be part of the "trendy" mainframe crowd anymore.  ; )

Terminology error on my part.

What I meant was:

Unlike VM, no single LPAR can have more logical CPs than there are physical 
CP's on the CEC.
So, if you have 4 GP's, no LPAR can have more than 4 CP's defined to it.
(You can, however, have RSVD CP's defined, so that you can add more LP's, if 
you dynamically add more GP's, without a POR or an IPL)

It's been awhile, but VM used to allow a guest more 'active' CP's than were 
physically installed.
This is what I meant by virtualisation of CP's.

The terminology definitions have drifted in meaning over the last 20 years.
