If you've used real DASD, and renamed the disks, either using Dedicate or
full-pack Mdisk for the second level system, and you've changed addresses
for things like your OSA card, console, DASD and other emulated real devices
(and these new device addresses actually correspond with real devices), then
there's no reason it wouldn't come up in another LPAR.
If you've done any of the "easy" second level suggestions (allocating
minidisks starting at CYL 1 to end rather than changing volume names, using
smaller minidisks for page and spool, ...), or if you haven't aligned your
OSA, console, tape, DASD and other devices with the real addresses you want
to use, then the system will not come up first level.
