As far as I understand the question is "what is the difference between
SMF ID and SYSNAME".
Or rather "Why on Earth have two identifiers, while there is always 1:1
correlation".
I agree, I see no reason to have SMF ID and sysname independent.
Among meny identifiers I can explain the purpose of JES2 NODE name, MAS
member name, LPAR name, TCPIP hostname, sysplex name, etc.
However I would like to know the reason if it exist.

I’m doing some research involving historical SMF data. It’s caused me to wonder how
engineers use the &SYSNAME, &LPARNAME and &SMFID symbols. From what I can see
is that in most instances they are the same. LPARNAME appears to me to have little value
in that if may or may not have an affinity for a z/OS guest in terms of naming.
&SMFID and &SYSNAME seem to generally correlate. I’m curious if there are use
cases where these are different and what the purpose might be?
Appreciate any insight / best parties that people are using.
