This was initially raised under IBMMAIN.
 
 
 
when we have a z/OS 1.9 (or 1.8) system in an LPAR with zIIP and zAAp
processors. SDSF shows the amount of usage on the DA panel.
 
SDSF DA Z27   ZOS18    PAG    0  CPU/L/Z  16/ 14/  0   LINE 1-1 (1) 
 
If I am running z/OS 1.9 (OR 1.8) under z/VM 5.3 with zIIP and zAAP
processors the SDSF panel shows
 
 
SDSF DA Z90   ZOS19    PAG    0  CPU  11      
 
 
Which is what I would expect if the processors were not there. 
 
If I go right on DA display I can see that the zIIP and zAAP processors are
being used as the zAAP-USE% changes.
 
The SDSF manual states:
 
CPUFMT (LONG) | (SHORT)            | CPUFMT=LONG | SHORT               | 
 
  |____________________________________|___________________________________|
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Specifies whether SDSF displays the MVS, LPAR and zAAP views of CPU busy on
the title line of the DA panel, or only the MVS view. The LPAR and zAAP
views require RMF.
 
 
 
   LONG  indicates that all values are displayed. The LPAR view is shown
only when in LPAR mode. The zAAP view is shown only when a zAAP is defined
and the system is in LPAR-mode.    SHORT  indicates that only the MVS view
is shown.      The MVS view (the first value on the title line) is a better
indicator of a CPU bottleneck. The LPAR view (the second value, if present)
takes into account several states related to PR/SM. The zAAP view (the third
value, if present) shows usage of the zSeries Application Assist Processor.

Is there a way I can make the z/OS system think its in LPAR mode ?
 
I have had the following response:
 
the UNDER VM is the key.  The processor utilization numbers in the header
are obtained from the ERBSMFI API.  The "L". "Z", and the zIIP utilization
(which SDSF does not display) are calculated from hardware supplied data
(via DIAGNOSE 204).  DIAGNOSE 204 is NOT supported under VM.
 
If I do a CP QUERY DIAGNOSE 204 , it says its there. Is there some thing
else I need to do to make this work ?
