Ah, a man after my own heart. Note, however, that since one of the engines is an IFL, there will need to be at least 2 LPARs, since you can't mix CPs and IFLs. Even so, sharing all those resources under z/VM will make life a lot easier for everyone. And I love being able to IPL systems from my desk, and have the console right there in front of me.
