STSI give you information about the machine capacity, etc. (standard
engines) but it doesn't show IFLs.  Until 5.3, you couldn't really
tell if you were running on IFLs or CPs.  If you're a Class G user,
the CP IND and Q PROC commands don't tell you either, even on 5.3 or
5.4.  You need to use the Q V CPUS command and see what type of
virtual CPU you have.  But note that on 5.4 you can configure it to
run a virtual IFL on a real CP so you may not really know even then.
What you really need is the CP monitor data that Perfkit or ESAMON
uses.
