Are You saying that from a management and/or operations view, z/VM is mandatory 
to get full/enough value out of deploying Linux on zSeries ?

Some ramblings on "free" zLinux.....
z/VM is inexpensive relative to z/OS.  I see z/VM as becoming more strategic
in large zSeries sites between Linux on zSeries and CCL as a 3745
alternative.

...

Despite
the fact we only used three guests during the proof of concept we ran it
under z/VM because we wanted to evaluate how bringing z/VM into our shop
would impact operations and support staff training needs and operational
procedures.  We knew that if we moved forward to production that LPAR would
not be enough.
