Okay, got a 2nd level VM up:

Alan, > by knowing how deep you are in STSI, you can map it to DIAG 0. If you say so. I still haven't seen an example, but it is somewhat moot because I'm still trying to avoid CMS, thus any REXX EXECs. > An instance of CP is determined by cec.lpar[.userid1[.userid2]...] Yes, I see that now. So the entire hierarchy of info I need *can* be found in /etc/sysinfo. I'll just need to add a rule that if you want to know about the second level z/VM at cec1.lpar1.userid1, then you will have to first pull the info from the first level z/VM at cec1.lpar1, to include the System_Identifier. Because only one first level z/VM can run in an LPAR, any z/VM running in cec1.lpar1.<*userid*> must be the child of the z/VM running in cec1.lpar1. Frank, Thanks for the EXEC, but again it does not appear to show the System_Identifier of the parent z/VM, and again I'm trying to avoid using REXX EXECs. Here is the output on my second level z/VM: ==== This level of VM ==== VM: z/VM 5.4.0+ 1001 64-bit User: MAINT Time offset: -4 0000 E5D461C5E2C14040400006FF00000000 *VM/ESA .......* 0010 D4C1C9D5E34040407FFFFFE000000000 *MAINT "..\....* 0020 FFFFC7C0010003E9 *..G{...Z * ==== -1 level of VM ==== VM: z/VM 5.4.0+ 0901 64-bit LPAR User: VM140 Time offset: -4 0000 E5D461C5E2C14040C000060000000008 *VM/ESA {.......* 0010 E5D4F1F4F04040407FFFFFE000000000 *VM140 "..\....* 0020 FFFFC7C001000385 *..G{...e * Thanks to all who replied.
