Gordon, look into using VM's CSE (Cross System Extensions) technology. It allows for implementing just such a failover technique and it's already included in your VM system. You can easily test your implementation by using two 2nd level VM guests coupled via a (v)CTC adapter.

We're considering setting up two Linux servers on two different 390/IFL processors as printservers and want to be able to failover to the other processor when one fails or is taken down for service. And of course, we want to test it on our single IFL engine first. "Christmas is a funny season. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?"
