It is conceivable to manage more than one system/lpar at a time, yes.

While I cannot provide detailed specifics (company secrets and all),
"proxy" Application resources (APLs) representing LPARs can be defined on
the "SysOps" side of SA. So when an Operator wants to shutdown and re-IPL a
system, the proxy application is stopped, with RESTART=YES provided on the
request. Omit the RESTART option to leave the LPAR "Not operating".

Extending the "Image/LPAR" proxy concept to the CEC level doesn't seem out
of the question, with HASPARENT relationships built between CEC and LPAR
proxy applications. So stopping (proxy) "CEC1" would entail *SA* first
stopping all (proxy) children systems, including a ISQCCMD DEACTIVATE
command once the system is varied out of the 'plex,

It also seems possible to build SERVER Application Groups to logically
group proxy systems, and just manage the APG when the time comes.

When it comes to Batch/JCL, you can use Command Receiver (CMDRCVR)
functionality to issue commands in batch as if you were entering them at an
NCCF terminal:
