Let's turn the discussion around Ed, and inject a little left-field logic. Why run z/OS in an LPAR at all ?. It's already running under a hipervisor - why not just junk PR/SM (and CPs) and run everybody on ILFs under z/VM ?. If IBM can do their development under z/VM, why can't we as customers avail ourselves of the inherent advantages.
