you started out just running/testing it in your own virtual machine
... it wasn't until later when you wanted to do something more
production and wanted a separate virtual machine.

as aside, my same adtech conference that had presentations on precursor
to pipelines and cms under mvs 
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013o.html#91 Learning Rexx

... also had talk on modifications for vm370 for BSD unix ... including
being able to spawn independent (vm370) virtual address spaces that ran
independently ... aka the same userid could have multiple independently
running virtual address spaces ... much more like unix. This would have
made it possible to spawn a service virtual address space ... without
requiring a separate userid for every address space.

however, before this shipped the group was redirected to do BSD unix for
the pc/rt ... which did ship as "AOS".

the later unix offerings were self-contained unix implementations that
ran in single virtual machine virtual address space (not needing vm370
support for multiple independently running virtual address spaces).

aix/370 was a port of UCLA Locus ... for 370 (along with companion part
for aix/386) ... Locus had very sophisticated distributed computing
support ... with executing application being able to non-disruptbly
migrate between different machines in the network ... with some caveats
even between different machine architectures ... aka between aix/386 and
aix/370.

one of the claims for aix/370 (and other unixes) running under vm370
... rather on the bare machine ... was that field support required
mainframe RAS & EREP to support the real machine ... and the effort to
add such support to native unix was several times larger than the effort
to do the straight forward port.
