Peter Relson of IBM stated in his response: >The speculation is entertaining. But you should not expect any information >to be forthcoming.

It may have been a twinkle in someones eye within IBM and some work may have been done before it was canned but code/documentation slipped through the net. Repeating what Peter said, there is 'CBP' product. Over the years, there have been a function/features which have never materialised or seen daylight!

This is actually documented in the SA4.1 documentation: OA55159 – Additional IBM z14 Exploitation Support (November 2018) OA55159 provides additional new function support for IBM z14. The following hardware automation commands are enhanced to support new special purpose processor type Container Based Processor (CBP): ISQCCMD TCM (Temporary Capacity Management) The TCM command now allows to add or remove CBP resources for specific target hardware. ISQCCMD ICNTL (Image Control query and modify) The ICNTL command now allows to query and update image control settings for images using CBP resources. ISQCCMD PROFILE (Activation Profile query and modify) The PROFILE command now allows to query and update activation profile settings for images using CBP resources. Sebastian.
