We have 6 LPARs running z/VM 6.1.0 and only one of them does TPF hosting. While TPF hosting is the biggest expenditure of resources in that LPAR, it also has other critical applications. We never have gotten all the way down to just TPF hosting. If you count the several Linux guests that support TPF as TPF hosting, there are still a few critical applications that are running on VM. Of those 6 LPARs, 4 are devoted to m/f Linux. There are also an unknown number of POCs for Linux either in process or in planning.
