We've been running with CSTOR > 20Gig on multiple LPARs for a few years 
with no issues.  We're running z/OS 1.6 now but were on z/OS 1.4 last year 
at this time.  (Yes, that's 20+, not just 2+.)  2084 processor.  
 
Big central storage lets the CPU run at speed more often and there are no 
ISVs penalizing you for big central (to date).  They gouge for big CPU but 
don't charge for memory size.  (IBM could probably reduce the monthly 
maintenance changes for memory IMHO, but that's my quibble.)
