You should really use a separate LPAR for production if your serious about separating the environments - which I'd strongly advise that you do.
If not and it has to be the same LPAR then: - A separate VSWITCH for prod - hopefully on a separate OSA.. communication to the production network should not take place without having to go out and back in thru a firewall (as in coming from test or dev - don't allow direct communication from test/dev servers) - SHARE settings in place to guarantee production guests will run - even at the expense of test/dev guests. - Production guests should be in your AUTOLOG procedure and come up automatically - Checks should be done to ensure all production guests are running when z/VM comes up - ALWAYS shutdown the guests - make sure the guests honor a signal and Linux is setup to LOGOFF the guest when signalled. I'm sure others will have more ideas as well..
