Thanks, all for the answers - that is what I suspected. We have z/VM and z/VSE guests running in the only LPAR; if there was a move to initiate running LINUX in the same z/VM, perhaps as a proof of concept, I wouldn't think the costs would increase.

For example, if we already have z/VM running, there is no additional cost involved.

Sure, it will work. But as you've identified, it's pretty much never cost-effective over the long term to do so.
