The ISV interface to the machine is defined in System z: Application
Programming Intefaces, SB10-7030, available from ResourceLink.

Nothing runs at the box level or below the LPARs.  The interfaces you use
interact with the objects defined and managed by the Console application
within the HMC.

You cannot add to or delete from the architecture of the machine.
