No, but you can move the work to another LPAR in the Sysplex before
the IPL, minimizing the application down time.
That can be done on Windows/Linux systems using virtualization
technologies like VMWare and HyperV live migration. Coupled with
fail-over clustering you can build
reasonably robust systems. The monitoring infrastructure is excellent.
Our distributed sysadmin was showing my HyperV and I was very impressed.
It's not as good as
a full parallel sysplex but good enough for a lot of companies WRT SLAs.
