As I said, it does NOT work like a traditional IPL. It is not a tape or disk or anything else that can be IPLed (using the classic defn of "IPL"). The thing that is loaded from the DVD has to be changed to support being loaded from DVD. For example, you cannot just take an image dump of MVS and put it on the DVD. It will load, sure, but it won't run [the way you want it to]. Hence my statement that you need z/OS to make the needed changes.
