What's wrong with Linux on LPARs? We get the ability to move the LPARs from datacenter to datacenter without bring the system down. Highly configurable hardware.

Since we're in the process of migrating away from AIX, but still have the hardware, we should utilize it in some fashion, and this makes sense.

Believe it or not, not every business runs with the same model that yours does. And not every business has the same needs as yours.

We run Linux guest images on z mainframe hardware. It’s extremely efficient and cost effective.
