Paul, in short, no. The operating system runs on the underlying logical and physical hardware. So if I have z/VM running in an LPAR that has only IFLs assigned logically to it, z/OS will not be able to run. If I have a mix of IFLs and CPs in the LPAR, then you can start up z/OS as a z/VM

I strongly suspect, without reading the doc, that ms should be microseconds instead of milliseconds.  I suspect this because of the multiplier 128.  I advise reading the SMF doc very closely.  If it says the value is a number of timer units, then you have to find out what a timer unit means.
