Dave, if you have spare PU on your z890, I would strongly recommend to get IFL for test purposes which can be free for 3 or 6 months. It is also possible to get trial contract for z/VM, which is a good idea. Are your CPs on full speed or not ? If you assign one capped CP which you share with production, it will be waaaay slower than IFL which is full speed. And slow response is not a good start for PoC. We have many customers running Linux on z890 happily, most of my customers run it on IFL with or without z/VM.
