You need it. It's not about the hardware, it's about people and software. Your applications need protection from an *unplanned* outage, for a variety of reasons: - loss of power - z/VM abend - "I *meant* to shutdown my 2nd level system" And, of course, there are other reasons you may PLAN to turn off the machine, the LPAR, or VM (service).
