You should be able to vary if off from VM with 

VARY Online|OFFline PROCessor nn

I don't remember exactly, but I think that there is a way to mark the CPU 
'reserved' so that it doesn't come online after an IPL.

Subject: Dynamically varying a CPU offline in ZVM

Hi,

Could one of the wise old wizards tell me if there is a CP command we can use 
to deactivate or vary a CPU offline at the hypervisor level?  Young wizards 
appreciated too.

We want to change the number of CPU's and understand the correct place to do it 
is in the HMC.  But if we can do it dynamically initially, with the option of 
dynamically turning it back on, that's a less disruptive way than a IPL while 
we try this on for size.

Thanks for the help!

Jon Veencamp
