Paul, 

I will let the initial requester answer you. 

Imagine a brand new installation, with a LinuxOne RockHopper (or z13s) machine 
just unpacked. 
They have z/OS system programmer, however, some technical staff have Linux 
expertise. 
Only Linux on Z  (or may be IBM KVM for z systems) on the machine. 

There are ways to manage the IOCDS from the HMC and SE:
1- stand alone IOCP
2- DPM

The admin people still have to understand the hardware but there is no need for 
z/OS
when the only thing they want to run is Linux on Z.

I will wait and see what the initial requester, Radoslaw Skorupka, has in mind

Michel
