Ok, I was not thinking clearly yesterday.
My 'well seasoned' z/OS systems programmer was having a FIT because he
thought someone had sent the vendor the wrong CPU-ID for an expiring
product (VTAM-Switch) that was scheduled for a key installation this
weekend. He is two timezones away and was telling me that I can't be
reading the sticker on the frame correctly because of what the D M=CPU
was showing.
The thing is, he did not even try the new key before he started the
fussing. He just looked at the vendor's email (which included the real
CPUID), looked at the D M=CPU and started an email war. It escalated
before I had a chance to even think about the LPAR id.

What number? What is wrong?
Perhaps something is wrong because you read/posted it on a Sunday? ;-)
Running z/os 1.13 on a z12-BC.

Looking Ok to me. Seems to me you have at least one CPU active.
The physical CPU id stamped into the machine is "A58C7".
The 'Edit Frame' in the SE says:
Machine Type: 2828
Machine Model: H06
Serial Number: 0008400A58C7
It match with the D M=CPU output, unless I missed something.
Did you upgraded concurrently your processor(s) to a new model?
