I take it from a bit of reading that these are values which are "hard coded" into the machine via the millicode which is loaded and have something to do with software billing numbers. Anybody know anything more? Or is this an area which cannot be discussed by the "unwashed masses"? Does the "Group Capacity" values in the LPAR defination affect them?

They are NOT secret, they're already in Type 70 SMF - as cut by RMF. And
have been for some time.
They relate to the increased flexibility of "Capacity On Demand" offerings
available with System z10.
Now, perhaps someone with more expertise in this area can chip in.
(Unsurprisingly I see these three pairs of numbers as all the same in all
the (many) customer sets of z10 data I've looked at.)

Many thanks. I'll take a look at the SMF70 and see what I can learn.

"Permanent" refers to the permanent (base) capacity setting of your CEC.
"emporary" includes the additional temporary (On/Off Capacity on Demand)
capacity. The first of those tripels refers to the current configuration,
i.e. including both On/Off CoD and Capacity Backup (CBU) or Planned Event
capacity.
The identifier is the (usually three digit) model number (such as 724 or Z02
on a BC machine), and the rating is the MSU rating.
If you have nether OOOCoD nor CBU/PE records activated the three fields are
the same.
These are CPC-values and do not reflect defined capacity/group caps. Take a
look at SYSEVENT REQLPDAT, mapped by IRALPDAT, if you look for those data.

Thanks - I just got curious when I was reading the new Principles of Operation manual and noticed thoses with change markers, but no real explanation as to what they were.
