It's been a few years... but I think you have plugged in a z/VM install disc in the side of the Service Unit on the mainframe box (aka the Thinkpad) and booted it in an LPAR?
Just go to the 'Integrated 3270 console', or just 'Operating System Messages' on the HMC for that LPAR and follow the prompts. It should be obvious from there. I've installed z/VM from a remote HMC connection, so it doesn't need an ICC console. All I needed was someone was to physically push the optical disc into the side on the mainframe. You don't need some-one with Microsoft Certification for that, thank goodness, otherwise you'd be re-educating someone on how to insert an DVD every couple of years, at a ludicrous cost.

As long as it looks like a 3270-type console, you should be able to get it to work.
