Yes, but only if you're using a QDIO VSWITCH.  VM TCP/IP cannot use a 
layer 2 VSWITCH or Guest LAN.  This also means that if you're using IPv6 
with Linux and with VM TCP/IP, they cannot share a VSWITCH or Guest LAN. 
This isn't a problem with real OSA sharing since the OSA allows both layer 
2 and layer 3 connections on the same OSA - CP doesn't.

People with IPv6 requirements for VM TCP/IP (stack and apps) should let 
their voices be heard ASAP.  [To DB: I already have your vote.]  And if 
you have any drop-dead dates for IPv6 deployment, let us know that, too.
