Regarding your point 4, it is very usual for customers to define one or
preferably at least two LPARs in order to set up test environments for the
"validate concepts" purposes you mention. This is the first time I have seen
a concern that they be on isolated hardware. I spent many happy months with
a major bank playing in such a sandbox and I trust the "proof of concept"
reports arising from my frolics were useful eventually.

provides)

never is a 100% guarantee it won't crash the system or some parts thereof).
