Why? Are the engineers going to use CMS in addition to Linux? Even then, why have multiples? Or is this one of the "political" considerations what have nothing to do with reality?
Different VM LPARs does allow you to have different levels of VM and maybe different service levels. There have been cases where I was happy to be using a test system for my experiments (and equal number of times I wished I had done so).
You could have your disks R/W on all systems and use XLINK. This way you could bring down Linux on one LPAR and bring it up on the other one, sort of preparing for a VM outage.. You would need to disable MDC which may be sad. On the other hand, with current technology the storage below 2 GB is a bit more valuable, and with 3 LPARs you have 3 times as much of it... But I am not sure there will be many situations where the benefit is enough to justify for multiple LPARs.
