Consolidation of resources. As it is now I have 2 LPARs, one for CPs, and one for IFLs. So I physically have to divide up my memory between the LPARs. With z/VM mode I would have all the memory in one partition. I wouldn't need Hipersocket connections between the LPARs I would use a vswitch. DASD sharing would be much easier.... etc...
