Assuming FICON-Expresss 16/16S+, yes, 64 virtual machine per port. Since there are two ports per card, each card can support 128 virtual machines. But each guest needs access to 2 ports for HA, so that means 2 features (cards) per 128 virtual machines. How many virtual machines do you have on one CPC?!?
