Do you have a job scheduling package? If so, can't you either NJE a job over to other system to do the quiesce or have it talk to the job scheduler on the other LPAR to start the quiesce job? This assumes zFS and using ZFSADM to do the quiesce. I don't know a way to do that for HFS other than RYO (but you should be looking at moving to zFS anyway if not already).
