that z/OS should be run natively.
For z/OS, you might add "production workload" to that statement. I
have seen many installations very happy running z/OS in a virtual
machine for testing, training and development purposes. Being able to
run more z/OS images is a big plus in such cases. The distinction
between production and development depends a lot on your perspective
and expectations.

Dear Rob,
getting back to my original post which is being "snipped" mercilessly ;-)
"z/OS is a proprietary OS from IBM designed and engineered specifically
for the IBM System z series of Mainframe computers.
z/OS performs at its best in a non virtualized environment, and that is
how a production z/OS should be installed and run.
For testing purposes it is possible to run complete Sysplexes under
z/VM, but performance will suffer. "
