I would push the vendor and you may get farther than me that they need to support SLES 12 on s390x like they do on SLES 11, and if they complain that they don't have a test system then give them my email address as a POC

My experience with the software was back at EDS, when it was still called Opsware. At that time it barely supported Linux at all, let alone anything other than Intel. I can't say that I am aware of anyone running this with SLES on z for clients. That of course doesn't mean they're not out there, just that I don't know about them. I'm guessing you're being told to run this because all the other Linux/UNIX systems are. I think you're looking at doing some serious testing to make sure it works well for you. I would hope that HP would be able to provide you with some references of SLES customers running it on z Systems. If they cannot, then perhaps you can convince whomever that something like SUSE Manager (which will handle SLES and RHEL on Intel/AMD and z Systems) might be the better corporate standard. Especially now that Manager version 3 includes Salt.
