Not true. You can _try_ to IPL z/OS in an LPAR with IFLs, but the entire LPAR will checkstop as soon as it hits the instruction that's been disabled/disallowed on an IFL. z/VM, on the other hand, works quite nicely on either IFLs or CPs. In fact, with the newer machines and newer z/VM you can define "VM Mode" LPARs that contain both CPs and IFLs (and other specialty engines) and use the z/VM CP directory to indicate what type of processors a guest should be run on. That means you can have your test (or even production) z/OS systems running under z/VM right along side Linux, each being dispatched on the appropriate processor for that workload.
