An IPL of an OS in a virtual guest is not the same as 'destroying and recreating' the virtual environment the OS is running in. If you use a desktop virtualization solution (I use VirtualBox) -- it's much the same - there are certain changes to the virtual machine definition that require you to stop the virtual machine and start it again. (or you can't change the definition unless the virtual machine is stopped, unlike z/VM, where you can always change the guest directory definition running or not - but you may need to stop it and restart it to see those changes).
