There has never been a restriction on using virtual coupling in an LPAR. The only thing that is required is that the machine be licensed for Coupling Facility, which, IIRC, is demonstrated by the presence of at least one coupling link on the box. (But that may have changed over the years....) If the machine is not licensed for CF, then virtual CF cannot be used. What IS relatively new is that if you are running in a z/VM mode LPAR, then you can have real CF engines in the z/VM LPAR and virtual CFs will be dispatched on real CFs.
