But in the case, the particular restriction being talked about it on z/VM itself. If you wanted to install z/VM on an IFL for the sole purpose of running a traditional CMS workload, that would not be permitted by the standard licensing. > Note that (latest VM) can emulate zIIP/zAAP for z/OS guest, but the > emulation is done on CP. If by "latest" you mean 5.3, that is correct. If you mean 5.4, it is not. z/VM 5.4, when running on a z10 and in a "z/VM mode" LPAR, can and will dispatch z/OS workload to real zIIPs and zAAPs if they are available to the LPAR. (And Linux workload to real IFLs as well in the same LPAR.)
